1 | EdB, Did He die on Thursday? | John 19:31 | EdB | 8088 | ||
Steve I agree, you are right on. I believe the confusion comes over the term Sabbath. I believe it was assumed to mean the weekly sabbath rather than the Passover Sabbath. For Jesus to be crucified on the Friday (Passover) the Jews would have had to violate the Passover Sabbath, that day carries the same restrictions as a weekly Sabbath. Further more Jesus would not have been able to fulfill the Passover Lamb requirement, as the Passover Lamb is to be killed at or before twilight of begining of the Passover calendar day or 6:00 pm Thrusday. I think there is also confusion over Jesus celebrating Passover the night before. There are two ways around that. First some Jews climbed to the highest place on the temple to spot the new moon (the begining of the month) others would wait until they could see it from the entrance to temple. This resulted in a day's difference. So many times Passover was celebrated two days. One for the early crowd (they were sure they were right) and once for the Orthodox crowd (they were sure they were right). The other solution the Jews made an exception clause to passover day, if one was traveling or had important business they could and often did celebrate Passover a day early. This also played into how they choose which way to spot the moon. |

I am glad you understand exactly what the Bible says. It takes a lot to go against centuries of tradition and teaching of the "renown". The following are sites that support the fact He daied on Thursday: http://www.nazarene.net/Calander/thsun.html http://www.loriswebs.com/lorispoetry/crucifix.html http://www.bibleinsight.com/crucp1.html |

Hello again Steve. The passage indicated, John 19:31, does not specifically state which day, such as "Thursday" or "Friday", and we have to look at this viewing the Jewish days and customs that signified this time. I apologize Steve for my crudeness and 'acute insensitiveness', but for the past two days I have been angry with you. You and EdB bring up some very good points on this issue of whether He was crucified on Thursday instead of Friday, and I am planning on seeing a friend of mine (who is a Messianic Jew) tomorrow and I will ask him specifically about this. Whatever he says, I will probably go with, since I trust this fellow. I will post his response after I speak with him. I could be wrong, yes, but this is not a major issue that effects anyone's salvation. If I am wrong on this issue, from what my friend states, then he will be going against the 'better judgment' of all the commentaries and sources of Biblical information that I have. But I will be consigned to his answer, since I trust him as a personal friend and one with much wisdom. I am not a "Pharisee" and remain a student of the Bible with a teachable spirit. I will post what he says after our visit tomorrow. Stay tuned. :) |

Nolan ... Apology accepted and likewise I apologize to you and all for any hard feelings. I know that John 19:31 does not specify the day of the week. Ask your friend, if there is a difference between '3 days' and '3 days and 3 nights.' Also, what does '3 days since' mean (Luke 24:21). Steve |
