HISTORY OF TIBERIUS

Tiberius proved intensely awkward. After
Augustus had been buried and deified, and
his will read and honored, the Senate
convened on 18 September 14 A.D.
to inaugurate the new reign and officially
"confirm" Tiberius as emperor. http://www.roman-emperors.org/tiberius.htm
Quoted from the link above:
"From A.D. 4 to 14 Tiberius was
clearly Augustus's
successor. When he was adopted, he also received grants of
proconsular power and tribunician power; and in A.D. 13
his proconsular power was made co-extensive with that of Augustus.
[[11]]
In effect, Tiberius was now co-princeps with Augustus
so that when the latter finally died on 19 August A.D. 14,
Tiberius's position was unassailable and the continuation
of the Principate a foregone conclusion. After 55 years
living at the behest of his stepfather, Tiberius finally
assumed the mantle of sole power."
My comments:
Your figures are built on the fact that Tiberius
became Sole Rex in 14 AD. That is true, but he became
Co-Rex in 12 AD. I found the coin
below minted in 13 AD with Tiberius on one side and
Augustus on the other. For sure, he was
Co-Rex then.
Being off by 2 years to start with skews everything
built on it. Revise the figures by two years, and you
will be off to a good start. Jesus was baptized near his
30th birthday in the 15th Year of Tiberius. which was
26 AD, Heb. 3786.
He was crucified on Thursday, Nisan 13, 3790,
in 30 AD. The Crucifixion was on the
preparation of the Passover, Nisan 14, 3790. The 3 days
and 3 nights in the heart of the earth were Thursday (day,
from about 3 PM to 6 PM), Friday (night then day),
Saturday (night then day), and Sunday (night).
Double check: Herod started to build the Temple in
19/20 BC. It had been under construction 46 years in AD
27, the first Passover of Jesus' ministry.
Now, everything else will fall into place easily.
Near his birthday, i.e., on Tishri 10, the Day of
Atonement, Jesus stood up in the Synagogue in Nazareth and
read from Isa 61 to announce the coming Jubilee Year. The
Jubilee started on Nisan 1, 3788, in 28 AD. That was
the last Jubilee Israel kept for the Temple was burned in
70 AD.
Jesus was conceived on Kislev 24 (Haggai 2:15,18,19)
and born on Tishri 1 in 5 BC. Herod died between the
eclipse of March 13, 4 BC and Passover.
