You just can't shoehorn all the stuff that happened into Friday, have the ladies rest on just one Sabbath, and then have a Sunday morning resurrection.
You can't?? According to whose theory?
It doesn't add up and it isn't enough time to fulfill the Jonas prophesy.
Unless you don't understand the prophecy.
Another passage to consider which bears on this issue:
"Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared." (Luke 24:1)
What follows in this chapter is Luke's record of what happened on that resurrection Sunday. As we read on we find:
"He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.' " (v. 6).
Recall the Hebrew way of counting, esp. days. And then we read:
"But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened." (v. 21)
Friday, Saturday, Sunday would get the disciples to the "third day". They understood the word Jesus had spoken, and that means they also understood the prophecy of Jonah.
It's all there and it all makes perfect sense.
It's math, not prophesy. And could you please refrain from trying to insult me every post.
Jesus said he was going to be in the heart of the earth for 3 days and 3 nights. Let's say He died early enough of Friday to count friday. Then you have Friday day, Friday night, Saturday Day, Saturday night, and resurrected Sunday morning. Now, even if you count Sunday morning as a day, you're still short one night.
"He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.' " (v. 6).
Using your previous post regarding the way the Hebrews counted the days, this says Jesus was resurrected on Tuesday.
