1 | Exactly what does Mark 15:42 mean | Mark 15:42 | biblicalman | 228165 | ||
There are no reliable dates for when the crucifixon took place. We do not know for sure how long Jesus' ministry lasted. We only know that it was over three years. What is sure is that if the crucifixion was on a Wednesday the women would not have waited until the first day of the week to anoint his body. They would have done it on the following day, or if that was a festal sabbath, the day after. That is conclusive against Wednesday. With regard to the guards, the women stated that they did not know how they were going to move the stone. The guards were Temple soldiers, not Roman soldiers. The seal was placed by the chief priests. They could not exact the death penalty. Possibly the women were hoping to persuade the guards to open the tomb, or if the guards were not there, one of the gardeners. That was why they sent the youngest and prettiest women ahead to spy out the situation. But that problem was there whatever day the crucifixion was. The people who say Wednesday never consider the problem of when the women went to anoint Jesus which was clearly stated to be the first day of the week. |

I'm 'THE PEOPLE' which entered the Wednesday note. I have considered, ('when the women went to anoint Jesus on the first day of the week,'); which would have been Sunday, Correct? Have you considered Matt. 12:40. If it would have been Thursday at 3:00 p.m., ('The Cruxifixion'); then that would have only been, two days, that Jesus was in his tomb. Matthew 12:40; "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the Earth." This is my reason for the entry of Wednesday being the day of The Cruxifixion. Our 3:00 p.m. would only be three hours before the start of the Jewish Thursday at 6:00 p. m.. I believe I'm correct in saying their days start at 6:00 p.m. our time, Correct? If I am misunderstanding what time of the day their day starts, please provide the correct information, so I may recalculate my entry of Wednesday being the day of Cruxifixion of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. May God Bless You, John Ryals |

If Christ had been crucified on a Thursday then in Jewish reckoning and description he would have been in the tomb four days asnd four nights. To a Jew part of a day could be called 'a day and a night', for he spoke of the part as a whole. Jesus was a Jew and used Jewish terminology. But the conclusive factor is that if Jesus was crucified on a Wednesday the women would have taken spices to the tomb on the Friday. They wanted to anoint His body for its burial. They did not know that that had already been done. They would certainly not have waited for the body to become putrefied. So the fact that they went to the tomb on the first day of the week (because they could not on the sabbath)demonstrates the He died on the day before that sabbath, that is Friday (Greek - paraskeue - 'preparation'). |
