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: God's day to you, biblicalman, Mark 11:1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives (cf Luke 19:28) ... and verse 11 says they returned to Bethany. So even if they start out from Bethany (John 12:1, 12), and it was a Sabbath's day journey to Jerusalem, how could they have returned? As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives (Matt 21:1) ... verse 17 says they went to Bethany. I believe that the Mount of Olives itself was a Sabbath's day journey (Acts 1:12), but the city of Bethany was futher (John 11:18). Searcher |
