To dawn also means to begin.... like toward the first day of the week. This, in the Hebrew way of looking at things, would be close to sundown.

Please read things a little more closely and you will avoid such embarrassing statements. Once again the word used here is epiphosko. Its definition is to grow light, dawn. There is no way this can be construed as being the equivalent of dusk or evening which is the opposite. It is a perversion of English and common sense to insist otherwise. Even in the Hebrew way of looking at things which mark the start of the day at sunset. Had they meant that time of day the word Opsios would have been used.

So....when the Greek says in verse 1, [Now late on Sabbath] this really means at sunrise Sunday morning....12 hours later. I think I got it now. Thankyou so much.
