It’s pretty basic that the people should go by what Jesus says.... “3 days in the grave”.... or He’s a liar. And I would rather believe Him. This Gentile tradition of settling on errors goes back to when the 10 tribes of Israel (Ephraim) left Judea with Jeroboam and started getting their spiritual things all mixed up. It’s in the Bible.
What an amazing article. I read it with much interest and honestly, no matter which way anyone tries to make Friday evening to Sunday morning, stretch through three days and three nights, they will for short.
I commend you for challenging “tradition,” for we were warned that there would be those who would “twist” the truth. When it comes to our Heavenly Father and his Son, Jesus Christ, ignorance is NOT a virtue.
bttt
Where are the charts?
The number of days He remained in the grave, to me, is a minor point.
FWIW, I no longer believe the crucifixion was on Friday. However, I also believe that it is not a salvific issue on which to hang my hat.
Totally Agreed, saved by grace alone (Eph. 2:8-9) but we should know the here and whys on basic biblical teaching as I believe you agree.
Amen!
A Fishy post.
Scripture says that the Jews who brought Jesus to Pilate did not wish to enter the praetorium so as not to become ritually impure to eat the Passover. That means that Jesus' trial precedes (at least the chief priests') celebration of Passover. (Some people believe that there was a schism among the Jews at that time over when Passover was to be celebrated.)
Moreover, Scripture in that same passage says "that Sabbath was a solemn feast day," "solemn feast day" meaning Passover, and "that Sabbath" meaning that Passover fell on a Saturday.
The Passover lambs were always slaughtered on the evening of 14 Nisan, the day before, in the afternoon.
Jesus is the fulfillment of the type of the Passover lamb, therefore he, too, was slaughtered on the evening of 14 Nisan, in the afternoon.
Incidentally, Passover in AD 33 fell ... on a Saturday.

3 days
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
I guess Scripture is irrelevant
Joh 19:31
(31) Then the Jewish authorities asked Pilate to allow them to break the legs of the men who had been crucified, and to take the bodies down from the crosses. They requested this because it was Friday, and they did not want the bodies to stay on the crosses on the Sabbath, since the coming Sabbath was especially holy.
As a Methodist, I was taught “BC” meant Before Christ, and that “AD” meant After The Death of Christ, yet the chart is titled AD31. Why is that?
‘Anno Domini’ = ‘The Year of Our Lord’, not ‘after death’. You were taught incorrectly.
“Anno Domini’”
NOW I remember!
Thanks.
When Mary went to the tomb Sunday morning she found that “He had risen.” Yes, on Saturday.
Sunday worship was from the Mithras religion of the Roman army. Jesus was a Jew and worshiped on Saturday.
