NASB | John 19:31 ¶ Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 19:31 ¶ Since it was the day of Preparation [for the Sabbath], in order to prevent the bodies from hanging on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high holy day) the Jews asked Pilate to have their legs broken [to hasten death] and the bodies taken away. |
Bible Question (short): "3 days" only or "3 days and 3 nights"? |
Question (full): JVH0212, does the Bible say "three days" or "three days and three nights". If anyone leaves out the "three nights" thay are taking away from Scripture. Matt 12:40 says "three days and three nights". Have YOU asked a Jewish rabbi what that phrase means? The "Friday" is an error of tradition. Also, when was His entry into Jerusalem? I believe it is Nisan 10 (Sunday). Since Passover is Nisan 14 what day did He die? 11-Mo, 12-Tu, 13-We ... and the Nisan 14 is Thursday. Going backwards, we know that two disciples were going to Emmaus in Luke 24. It is Sunday (Nisan 17, Firstfruits). In verse 21, it says today is the third day since He died. What day did He die? One day since-Saturday (weekly Sabbath), two days-Friday (Passover Sabbath) and three days-Thurday (Passover). Both ways fit. Do not listen to other men, even forget what they said. Study Scripture yourself. |
