The phrase "In the end of the sabbath ..." means that the sabbath had ended. It was over. The phrase "as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week" is morning, daybreak. If it is still sabbath day, then it cannot be "dawn, morning". If it is morning then it cannot still be the previous day's sabbath.

Luke 24:1 says "morning". The Hebrew day begins with evening not morning. If it is morning then the day is already 12 hours old.

Well it's nice that you're inserting your opinion, but as I showed you BIBLICALLY it means exactly what it says. You apparently can't dispute that the word OPSE means "evening", not morning and it's clearly and unmistakably used as such in scripture.

And "ephikosos" can also mean the lighting of the lamps, the rising of the evening star and it can also mean the dawning of a new day that beings at sunset. Which only make sense considering the meaning of the word OPSE.

Luke 24:1 will be an interesting study. Unfortunately I'm not going to have time to study or post for the next few days, but if diego or Chris wants to respond, feel free.
