AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 27:59 And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth (burial wrapping), |
Bible Question: I was looking at a TV program when one of the characters mentioned after Jesus had died on the cross, that his body was taken down and washed. I know about it being wrapped with spies but washed? Is this correct? If so, where in scripture is it. Is this part of Jewish ritual around "Day of Preparation"? Just curious. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks. |
Bible Answer: Hello rondc, First I must caution to not believe things on TV unless they are backed up biblically. These Characters will say whatever is in their imagination, and our enemy, (satan) will do anything to distort the truth. Personally I can find nothing that says the body of Jesus was washed before burial or even that it was wrapped with spices, but I do believe that they wrapped His body in linen, because the Bible tells me so. See Matthew Chapter 27:59 Mark Chapter 15:46 Luke 23:53 And also in Luke is some info pertaining to the day of preparation. 23:54 And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching, The "day of preparation" is a Jewish idiom for the day before the Sabbath and does not refer to preparation of a body before placing it in a tomb; see Ex 16:22-26 I hope this helps, tim |
