Subject: How many days was Jesus dead? |
Bible Note: Hi CDBJ, I think you are on the right track, but you have not gone far enough. Your explanation does not provide for: Mark 16:1 – When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might come and anoint Him. Luke 23:56 – Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes. And on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment. Yes, the women bought the spices after the Sabbath was over, but prepared them before the Sabbath! How can this be except that they bought the spices on Friday, after the Thursday High Sabbath, and prepared them the same day. They then rested on the Saturday Sabbath! I have tried to determine what day of the week that the 14th of Nissan fell on and found it impossible to do so. Hoth |
