Mark 15:42 seems to say that the day had started. If this is so then it is the preparation day. Then it would be on our Thursday evening which would be their Friday at that time. Is this correct to believe this? If this is so then Jesus was crucified on Thursday. | ||||||

It was towards evening on the day of preparation, thus it was still Friday. The body had to be buried before the Sabbath otherwise the land would be defiled. The modern Greek word for Friday is 'preparation'. Once the Sabbath started at nightfall nothing further could be done. That is why the women waited until the 1st day of the week. We know from Jewish tradition that the Jews spoke of friday afternoon to sunday morning as 'three days and three nights', because there was part of the first day and night on the friday, a full day and night on the saturday, and the first part of sunday was spoken of as 'a day and a night' It was Jewish usage. that is why Jesus also rose on 'the third day'. |

The notion that it was Friday came down from a source that didn’t know the facts of the Hebrew feast. It didn’t say that the next day was Saturday it said that the next day was a Sabbath. The Passover was celebrated on the 14th of Nisan. The next day was the beginning of the feast of unleavened bread and was a high holy day starting on the 15th of Nisan and ending on the first day of the week which was the 17th and a Sunday. Checking back one will find the day of the Pesach or Passover was on a Thursday and Christ being the firstfruit of those to rise was on a Sunday and the 17th. The 14th was a Thursday if on will do the math. Have a great day, I hope this helps, CDBJ |

The major problem with the suggestion that the crucifixion took place on a Wednesady or a Thursday is as to why the women waited until the first day of the next week to take the spices to anoint the body of Jesus. They wanted to do it at the earliest possible moment. The Scripture certainly gives the impression that the delay was only of one day. Thus it is clear that the Sabbath was the normal Sabbath. It may of course also have been the festal Sabbath, but that would not cancel the fact that the Sabbath in question was the regular Sabbath i.e. Saturday. To suggest the large majority of scholars of all persuasions agree with this position because they do not know the facts of the Hebrew feast is simply laughable. Many of them are experts in the subject. |

The part that is laughable is the notion that she was going to roll the stone away from a sepulcher even though there was a Roman guard on duty and the grave had a seal on it which if broken it was punishable by death. CDBJ |
