Subject: wednsday or friday Jesus died |
Bible Note: A blessed day for you, Searcher; I assumed you have read my first answer to you regarding your question on Luke 24: 20-21 regarding the "third day" phrase. Since you did not mention anything about it anymore, I'll be silent on it for the moment. You say you don't know how Wednesday can fit. I understand you on that because you honestly believe He rose from the grave on Sunday. Please read my first post again. In the Greek Bible I quoted there, Mark 16:9 explicitly mentions Christ rose from the grave early Saturday morning. You say Wednesday can't fit because then He would have to enter Jerusalem on the Sabbath. Here is your chronology on that (based on your note to Dhaniel): Nisan 08 (Thu/Fri) - "Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany" (John 12:1). Thu Nisan 09 (Fri/Sat) - "On the next day" (John 12:9). Sabbath Nisan 10 (Sat/Sun) - "On the next day" (John 12:12-13). Lamb Selection Day. Jesus presented self in Temple Nisan 11 (Sun/Mon) -"The next day" (Mark 11:12). Sun Nisan 12 (Mon/Tue) - "in the morning" (Mark 11:20). Mon Nisan 13 (Wed day) - "Then came the first day of Unleavened Bread" (Luke 22:7). Nisan 14 (Wed eve) - "When evening came" (Mark 14:17). Nisan 14 (Thu day) - "Very early in the morning" (Mark 15:1). … "It was the third hour when they crucified Him" (Mark 15:25). 25 Notice this time span you wrote: "Nisan 09 (Fri/Sat) - "On the next day" (John 12:9). Sabbath" May I ask from what Bible version is this? Because I tried looking up John 12:9 in a number of versions and I can not find any that mentions the phrase "On the next day". If we remove a day from the chronology you gave, then Thursday can not fit. Instead, Wednesday fits. dodoy |
