1 | Exactly what does Mark 15:42 mean | Mark 15:42 | John Ryals | 228178 | ||
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'). |
