If I was a gnostic Jew inventing a biography of Jesus, I might set the date of the crucifixion as a fulfillment to some numerical master plan.

It coinsides with Passover.
Passover was is a remembers the worst of the ten plagues, in that if a house hold did not have the fresh blood of a lamb on the door post the oldest son would die.
Likewise if you do not have the blood of Christ/the lamb of God to cover you, you too shall die.
