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.

Oh I get it ... like humor ... but different. Do you even understand the definition of 'context' and how it is used in the english language? Finish the sentence in context....In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week Anyone who wants to take the clear meaning of Epiphosko (tranliterated) which means "to grow light, to dawn" and change it to 'to grow dark, to night' has no common sense. But if you to want to continue to humiliate yourself in public like this, fine by me.

.In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week

How you can, "with a straight face", say this in around sunrise instead of sunset is totally amusing to me. It must stem from your lack of simple biblical precepts. For instance;

The new day....or the Dawning begins at sunset, Genesis1:5, [God called the light "day" and the darkness he called "night". And there was evening, and there was morning, the first day.]

Matthew 12:40 Christ tells us he will be in the tomb for 72 hours....the sign of Jonah the prophet. Luke 23:54, [It was the day of preparation and the Sabbath was about to begin.]

Continue on in John 19:42, [Because it was the Jewish Day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.] In other words....he was buried at sunset and according to his only sign he would give an evil and adulterous generation he would be in the tomb 72 hours. So he came out at sundown also.
