Why is the date being parsed incorrectly?

Question

Java

I'm trying to parse the date like this:

new SimpleDateFormat("E, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z", Locale.ENGLISH).parse("Thu, 07 Mar 2019 21:39:50 +0000")

But for some reason it returns today's date. What's wrong?

Answer 1

It most likely returns not today, but "2019-03-08T01:39:50.000+0400"?
What is your timezone?
