If Christ was crucified on Friday how do you get three days in the tomb and come out on Sunday?
Was He not crucified on Wednesday?
Because Friday was counted ... Friday, Saturday ... Sunday is the 3rd day.
Yes with two others on each side.
[Exodus 12:6] And it hath become a charge to you, until the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole assembly of the company of Israel have slaughtered it between the evenings. ("The Passover Lamb"). The Hebrews had two evenings each day. The first was at high noon and the second was at sunset. Between the evenings would be at approximately 3:00 P.M. in that latitude at that time of year for Passover.
The body was placed in the tomb shortly before sunset of the 14th [Luke 23:52-54] This man(Joseph of Aramathea) went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. And that day was the preparation (the 14th), and the sabbath drew on...(was about to begin).
The Sabbath about to begin was not the weekly Saturday Sabbath...it was the First Sabbath of the Days of Unleavened Bread (Thursday) [John 19:31] The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
The High day Sabbath is also the Sabbath spoken of in Mark 16:1 and because of this erroneous placement of non divine chapter and verse, it has caused much confusion over the years. Most folks think Mark is speaking here of Saturday when you can see that the thought process is a continuation of [Mark 15:42-47]. Chapter and verse are not divinely inspired......much to the consternation of some folks.
The body was then in the tomb Wednesday night/Thursday (one day);Thursday night/Friday (two days); Friday night/Saturday (three days)[Matthew 12:40] and as [Matthew 28:1] says: And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre. verse 6...the Angel says "He is not here. He has risen!"
The eve of the Sabbaths are speaking of just before sunset on the weekly Sabbath and the First Sabbath of the seven Sabbath count of the "Omer" to Pentecost....thus the plural. [Leviticus 23:15]
Yes.....he was crucified on a Wednesday and resurrected on a Saturday! These simple Biblical truths are constantly attacked as this destroys much of the false tradition and theology of the mainstream church. They cannot counter with opposing scripture as there is none. They can only point to their false tradition and their false councils for "their proof".
