To understand the 70 weeks you need to understand Dan chapter 8 and 9 clearly.
As for Gods Spirit and read both chapters together.
Daniel was told -- ‘For two thousand three hundred days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed’ ” (Daniel 8:14).
He was also told -- "Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision". Dan 8:19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
Gabriel asserted that the 2,300-year vision involved events in the end time, The angel wanted Daniel to understand that the 2,300-year prophecy is a message that applies primarily to the end of earth’s history.
So when did the 2300 years end? And remember 6000 years of history, the end could include a few hundred years.
The angel Gabriel came and began explaining the vision to him. When Gabriel reached the point of the 2,300 days, Daniel collapsed and was ill for some time. Daniel 9 begins with the prophet’s earnest prayer of confession and appeal to God.
The angel Gabriel touched him and stated he had come to explain the rest of the vision described in Daniel chapter 8 (compare Daniel 8:26 with Daniel 9:23). Daniel prayed that God would help him understand God’s message given by Gabriel.
Dan 9:23 "therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
Seventy weeks were “determined” for the Jews. These seventy prophetic weeks equal 490 literal years (70 x 7 = 490). God’s people would soon be returning from captivity in Medo-Persia, and God would allot 490 years from the 2,300 years to His chosen people as another opportunity to repent and serve Him.
Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon (or allotted to, or cut off for) thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Dan 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
The starting event was a decree from Persian King Artaxerxes authorizing God’s people (who were captive in Medo-Persia) to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the city. The decree, found in Ezra chapter 7, was issued in 457 bc—the seventh year of the king (verse 7)—and was implemented in the autumn. Artaxerxes began his reign in 464 bc.
464 bc - 7 years = 457bc
This is the wrong decree. This decree only allowed the rebuild of the temple. The command to restore the city is found in Neh 2, the 20th year of king artexerxes.
Neh 2: 4 Then the king said to me, “What do you request?”
So I prayed to the God of heaven. 5 And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask
that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may rebuild it.”
7 Furthermore I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, let letters be given to me for the governors
of the region beyond [
c]the River, that they must permit me to pass through till I come to Judah, 8 and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he must
give me timber to make beams for the gates of the [d]citadel which pertains to the [e]temple, for the city wall, and for the house that I will occupy.” And t
he king granted them to me according to the good hand of my God upon me.
Artexerxes as you showed started his reign in 465 BC. So the command to restore the city would be calculated 20 years later which would be 445 BC. However, Nisan would be in the spring, So it would actually be 444 Bc
This would be the start of the 70 weeks.
The angel said that 69 prophetic weeks, or 483 literal years (69 x 7 = 483), added to 457 bc would reach to the Messiah (Daniel 9:25).
Mathematical calculations show that moving ahead 483 years from the fall of 457 bc reaches the fall of ad 27.
(Note: There is no year 0.) The word “Messiah” includes the meaning of “anointed” (John 1:41). Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit (Acts 10:38) at His baptism (Luke 3:21, 22). His anointing took place in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar (Luke 3:1), which was ad 27.
457bc add 69 weeks (483years) = 27ad
The prophecy is perfectly correct so far.
Messiah was introduces to Jerusalem as her messiah when he rode rising on a donkey. as per the OT prophecy.
Zechariah 9:9
The Coming King
“
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of
Jerusalem!
Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.
see also Matt 21:
21 Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to [
a]Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose
them and bring
them to Me. 3 And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
4 [
All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
5 “Tell the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your King is coming to you,
Lowly, and sitting on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.’ ”
which occurs at the end, or after the 69th week, not in the middle of the 70th week.

Jesus was “cut off” or crucified “in the middle of the week,” which is three and a half years after His anointing—or the spring of ad 31. Please notice that the gospel is revealed in verse 26: “After the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself.” No—praise God!—when Jesus was cut off, it was not for Himself. He “who committed no sin” (1 Peter 2:22) was crucified for our sins (1 Corinthians 15:3; Isaiah 53:5). Jesus lovingly and willingly offered His life to save us from sin. Hallelujah! What a Savior! Jesus’ atoning sacrifice is the very heart of Daniel chapters 8 and 9.
The covenant is His blessed agreement to save people from their sins (Hebrews 10:16, 17). After His ministry of three and a half years ended, Jesus confirmed the covenant through His disciples (Hebrews 2:3). He sent them first to the Jewish nation (Matthew 10:5, 6) because His chosen people still had three and a half years remaining of their 490-year opportunity to repent as a nation.
In the fall of ad 34, the disciples began preaching the gospel to other people and nations of the world (Acts 13:46). Stephen, a righteous deacon, was publicly stoned in ad 34. From that date onward, the Jews, because they collectively rejected Jesus and God’s plan, could no longer be God’s chosen people or nation. Instead, God now counts people of all nationalities who accept and serve Him as spiritual Jews. They have become His chosen people—“heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:27–29). Spiritual Jews, of course, include Jewish people who individually accept and serve Jesus (Romans 2:28, 29).
70 weeks finished and done.[/QUOTE]
Jesus was cut off at the end of the 69th week. Not in the middle of the 70th
As Jesus said, If you only knew of the time of his coming, but now it has been hidden from them
Luke 19:42
saying, “
If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the
things that make for your peace! But
now they are hidden from your eyes.
The end of the 70 weeks was to bring peace to Israel.
Jesus himself showed that that would be delayed.
