1 | did Jesus die on Fri. and raise on Sun.? | Matt 12:40 | jbw | 82070 | ||
It is said that Jesus died on Friday and rose on Sunday. Well the word of God states that He would be in the earth three days and three nights. Is Friday then the correct day? | ||||||
2 | did Jesus die on Fri. and raise on Sun.? | Matt 12:40 | srbaegon | 82071 | ||
Hello jbw In Jewish speech it was common to count part of a day as one day, so that you could reckon it this way--Friday before sunset, Saturday, Sunday morning. You'll notive that the Lord used the phrase "days and nights". The Jewish day was "night and day". This would allow for the the designation of three to be a part rather than a complete 72-hour period. I prefer a Thursday crucifixion to better fulfill the typology of the passover lamb. Steve |
