How much of the day was left after the soldier, sent by Pilate at the request of the Jews as sunset was fast approaching, broke the legs of the two and thrust a spear in the side of Jesus, after which Joseph went to Pilate?
And Matthew 27:57-58 says: "When the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph...He went to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus...".
And Mark also says in 15:42: "And now when the evening was come... Joseph of Arimathaea ... went in boldly unto Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus."
The day of Passover ended at evening and the body was still not buried.
Matthew 27:
57
34 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who was himself a disciple of Jesus.
58
He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus; then Pilate ordered it to be handed over.
59
Taking the body, Joseph wrapped it (in) clean linen
60
and laid it in his new tomb that he had hewn in the rock. Then he rolled a huge stone across the entrance to the tomb and departed.
61
But Mary Magdalene and the other Mary remained sitting there, facing the tomb.
62
35 The next day, the one following the day of preparation, 36 the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate
63
and said, “Sir, we remember that this impostor while still alive said, ‘After three days I will be raised up.’
64
Give orders, then, that the grave be secured until the third day, lest his disciples come and steal him and say to the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead.’ This last imposture would be worse than the first.” 37
Doesn’t this say that He was buried that same day? Context, people. Context. Ya gotta read the whole thing. :)
