Subject: Is there a reason to debate? |
Bible Note: John, Your note to Dhaniei says in part: "One thing that is perfectly clear is: Jesus rose on the first day of the week (Mark 16:1-2, 16:9)!". You quoted Mark 16:9 which contains the phrase "first day of the week". This phrase is translated from the Greek phrase "protei sabbatou". This Greek word "sabbatou" is translated into "sabbath" in these texts: Matt. 12:8; Mk. 2:28; 6:2; 16:1; Lk. 6:5; 13:14, 16; 14:5; Jn. 19:31; Acts 1:12 In Gen 29:27, 28, the word "week" is from the Greek "hebdoma", could you please show from Scriptures the validity of translating "sabbatou" into "week"? |
