Bible Question: If Jesus died on Fri. and rose on Sunday, explain why Jesus said that he would be in the belly of the earth for 3 days as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish. |
Bible Answer: That is the great mistaken assumption that he died on a Friday. The truth is that in the year that He died the 14th of Nissan was on a Thursday and the next day was Friday and a High Sabbath feast day. The next day wasn’t the regular seventh day Sabbath or Saturday, as most assume, therefore they think that He died on a Friday and without researching it everybody just went along with the assumption!
