1 | Is 'sabbaton' equals 'week' proper? | Mark 16:9 | dodoy | 219896 | ||
Scripture: Mark 16:9 Is there any Biblical basis for translating "protei sabbatou" into "first day of the week?" All of the texts in the New Testament translated into "first day of the week" are all taken from Greek phrases containing the root word "sabbaton" from which the English "sabbath" was derived. (see on Matt. 28:1; Mk. 16:2, 9; Lk. 24:1; Jn. 20:1, 19; Acts 20:7; 1 Co. 16:2) |

2 | Is 'sabbaton' equals 'week' proper? | Mark 16:9 | Searcher56 | 219908 | ||
In Matthew 28:1 it is "oye sabbaton ... mia sabbaton" The other verses" Heis is the word for first elsewhere. John 20:19 "So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week" confuses me. The evening means a new day in the Jewish mind. Verse 1 says "Now on the first day of the week". Searcher |

3 | Is 'sabbaton' equals 'week' proper? | Mark 16:9 | dodoy | 219915 | ||
Blessed day, Searcher; In John 20:1, the Greek for "first day of the week" is "mia ton sabbaton" which you also know to literally mean "one of the sabbaths" Consider the following Greek phrases with their corresponding translations in the NASB: Mark 14:66 'mia ton paidiskon' - one of the servant girls; Luke 5:12 'mia ton poleon' - one of the cities; Luke 13:10 'mia ton sunagogon' - one of the synagogues Why 'one of the sabbaths'? Because there also was the sabbath corresponding to the first day of unleavened bread which fell on Thursday in that week as celebrated by the Jews. Also there was the sabbath that followed the Passover celebration of Christ with His disciples that fell on Wednesday, and lastly, the weekly sabbath or Saturday. It was this Saturday sabbath that is referred to in John 20:1. Literally taking the Greek 'opsias' in verse 19 as "evening" after sunset, the evening of this Saturday, would really be Sunday, the first day of the week. Hope it would help a little to clear out the confusion. dodoy |
