He was raised on the Third Day
Friday Saturday Sunday
3 days.

That isn't what the Bible says.

Matthew 12:40 -
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Three days and three nights in the "heart of the earth" - Friday, Friday night, Saturday, Saturday night, Sunday, Sunday night. That makes the Resurrection on Monday.


Mark 8:31 -
He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.

AFTER 3 days (died on Friday, AFTER Friday, after Saturday & after Sunday - that would make it Monday that he rose. Not "within 3 days" but "after" 3 days.)


Mark 9:31
Because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise."

Again note - AFTER 3 days - not within 3 days or "on the 3rd day" but AFTER 3 days.


Mark 10:34
who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise."

"Three days later" - died on Friday. Saturday is the first day later, Sunday is the second day later and Monday is the third day later.


Matthew 27:63
"Sir," they said, "we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, 'After three days I will rise again.'

Again "after three days" does not mean "within 3 days".

Here are 5 different Scriptures that all say the same thing. Three days "after", three days "later" and "three days and three nights".
None of these agree with the day and a half (Friday midday to dawn on Sunday morning)that we now believe.

So, do not let the tradition of men get you all that upset.

If He raised on a Sunday then count backwards. When you have your three days and three nights, then you will know what day He was crucified.
