Subject: if Jesus died on Friday and rose Sunday |
Bible Note: I mistyped ... it is Luke 24:21, not Luke 24:1. - There are two Sabbaths because Luke 24:21 indicates Sunday was the third since He died. If they were on the same day, the women would have gone to the grave on day after He died (Friday), and not rested on both (Luke 23:56). - Luke 24:21 indicates the "extra day" - I agree with you he was buried the same day he died. ----------------- Nisan 14 (daytime) (Th) - Preparation Day/ Killing of The Lamb ... Day of all this took place, including His death (Luke 24:20-21) - Day 1 in the tomb ... He was buried before evening. (Matt 27:11-61, Mark 15:1-47, Luke 23:1-55, John 18:28-19:42) Mark 15:1 says "Very early in the morning." John 18:28 says the Jews had not eaten the Passover, which would be that evening, Nisan 15. ----------------- Nisan 15 (Th/Fr) - Guard at the Tomb (High Sabbath) ... one day since His death (Luke 24:1) - Night 1/ Day 2 in the tomb (Matt 27:62-66) ... Now since the Jews had eaten the Passover, they could go back to Pilate. They knew what He said, so they could have requested this when they were there before. ----------------- Nisan 16 (Fr/Sa) - Weekly Sabbath ... second days since His death (Luke 24:1) - Night 2/ Day 3 in the tomb (Luke 23:56) ... This Sabbath could be either the High Sabbath or weekly Sabbath. ----------------- Nisan 17 (Sa/Su) - Firstfruits (Lev 23:9-14) ... third day since His death (Luke 24:21) - Night 3 in the tomb ... He arose before sunrise (Matt 28:1-15, Mark 16:1-11, Luke 24:1-49, John 20:1-23) ... First Day of the Week |
