1 | Why do we celebrate Good "Friday"? | John 12:12 | Emmaus | 40696 | ||
Ed, I have read John 19:14 and the Synoptics which make the point of the other position as I have cited. You may find this article on the subject of interest. It was published in 1912 and the issue was not new then. Nor is the day of the week of the crucifixion a point of doctrine, although it is a matter of interpretation. The article has some relevent points I did not see in the archives to which you refered me, but in some ways touch on various points there. Your previous point about the importance of Jesus's death as opposed to the day of his death of course is very much to the point in this academic exercise. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14341a.htm Emmaus |

Emmaus Interesting! Consider this Jesus was the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies, He fulfilled every spring feast. How is that the Lamb of God would miss fulfilling the Passover by dying a day late? The gospels fit together they do not dispute each other. The other gospels talk about the coming Sabbath John spells out which Sabbath that is the Great Sabbath, the Passover Sabbath. There is only one "great" Sabbath in Jewish culture and that is the Passover Sabbath. The flow of Passover was the selection of the Lamb on Nissan the 10th (Palm Sunday see Jesus' timing was right here) and killing of the Lamb on Nissan the 14th (After the 9 th hour but before the actual sundown since that would now be a Sabbath.) and Passover dinner eaten on evening of the Nissan the 15 th. Remember Jewish days began at sundown and go through the night then the day until sundown the next. The Passover Lamb was to be killed at sundown (after the 9th hour but before actual sundown) on the 14th day exactly when Jesus died on the cross. The next day would be the Passover Sabbath and the following day would be the weekly Sabbath so the first chance the women had to come to the grave would be Sunday. I have explained it every way I can think of if you want to go with the golden tongue wordsmiths of the article ( they need to study Jewish culture) you referred me too that's okay! As long as we agree Jesus was crucified, died, was buried, rose three days later and now sits at the right hand of God the Father. Have a blessed Resurrection Morning!!!!!! EdB |
