1 | Was Jesus actually in the tomb 3 days? | John 19:31 | kalos | 1314 | ||
"Three days and three nights. (Matt 12:40) This phrase does not necessarily require that 72 hours elapse between Christ's death and resurrection, for the Jews reckoned part of a day to be as a whole day. Thus this prophecy can be properly fulfilled if the crucifixion occurred on Friday." (Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1976, 1978) . . . " 'Three days and three nights' (Matt 12:40)was an emphatic way of saying 'three days,' and by Jewish reckoning this would be an apt way of expressing a period of time that includes parts of 3 days. ... All sorts of elaborate schemes have been devised to suggest that Christ might have died on a Wednesday or Thursday, just to accommodate the extreme literal meaning of these words. But the original meaning would not have required that sort of wooden interpretaion." (MacArthur Study Bible, p. 1415, Word Publishing, 1997) . . . "THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS. (Matt 12:40) Including at least part of the first day and part of the third day, a common Jewish reckoning of time." (Matt 12:40, Zondervan NASB Study Bible, Zondervan, 1999) |

2 | "3 days" only or "3 days and 3 nights"? | John 19:31 | Searcher56 | 8084 | ||
JVH0212, does the Bible say "three days" or "three days and three nights". If anyone leaves out the "three nights" thay are taking away from Scripture. Matt 12:40 says "three days and three nights". Have YOU asked a Jewish rabbi what that phrase means? The "Friday" is an error of tradition. Also, when was His entry into Jerusalem? I believe it is Nisan 10 (Sunday). Since Passover is Nisan 14 what day did He die? 11-Mo, 12-Tu, 13-We ... and the Nisan 14 is Thursday. Going backwards, we know that two disciples were going to Emmaus in Luke 24. It is Sunday (Nisan 17, Firstfruits). In verse 21, it says today is the third day since He died. What day did He die? One day since-Saturday (weekly Sabbath), two days-Friday (Passover Sabbath) and three days-Thurday (Passover). Both ways fit. Do not listen to other men, even forget what they said. Study Scripture yourself. |

3 | "3 days" only or "3 days and 3 nights"? | John 19:31 | Makarios | 8087 | ||
Steve, have YOU ever asked a Jewish Rabbi what this phrase means? Do you realize that you are going against every good interpretation or traditional understanding of this verse? Do you even care? Here's some "sound" explanation to this verse.. Zondervan's NASB Study Bible states, "'a high day'. The Sabbath that fell at Passover time. The Passover meal had been eaten on Thursday evening, the day of Preparation was Friday, and the Sabbath came on Saturday." The verse ITSELF says that it was the "day of preparation" when the bodies were taken down from the cross. Therefore, this would have been on a Friday, not on a Thursday. Steve, I challenge you to find at least one credible Bible scholar that supports your point of view. |
