“Testament” means Covenant or Agreement, so the question is when did the NEW Covenant begin (and replace the Old Covenant)?

Matthew 9, Mark 2 and Luke 5 …
Christ began to forgive sin without the need for an animal sacrifice to “fill the gap”, but on His authority.
- [Matthew 9:2 NASB95] 2 And they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, "Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven."
- [Mark 2:5 NASB95] 5 And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven."
- [Luke 5:20 NASB95] 20 Seeing their faith, He said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven you."

How about this?
“For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood.”
-Hebrews 9:16-18

The Mediator’s Death Necessary - For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood.
