AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 15:42 ¶ When evening had already come, because it was the preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, [Deut 21:22, 23; Matt 27:57-61; Luke 23:50-56; John 19:38-42] |
Subject: Exactly what does Mark 15:42 mean |
Bible Note: The notion that it was Friday came down from a source that didn’t know the facts of the Hebrew feast. It didn’t say that the next day was Saturday it said that the next day was a Sabbath. The Passover was celebrated on the 14th of Nisan. The next day was the beginning of the feast of unleavened bread and was a high holy day starting on the 15th of Nisan and ending on the first day of the week which was the 17th and a Sunday. Checking back one will find the day of the Pesach or Passover was on a Thursday and Christ being the firstfruit of those to rise was on a Sunday and the 17th. The 14th was a Thursday if on will do the math. Have a great day, I hope this helps, CDBJ |
