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.
Matthew 27:62-64
The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate. "Sir," they said, "we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, 'After three days I will rise again.' So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first."
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.
So, can you explain why "tradition" marks Friday as the day Jesus Christ was crucified and Sunday morning as the day of resurrection? Scriptures - both prophetically as the "sign of Jonah" and Jesus' own words - say he would be raised after three days and three nights. Friday morning to Sunday morning is NOT three days AND nights.
Mark 15 says he was crucified "the third hour" of the day and "at the ninth hour" is when he died. "As evening approached" is when he was buried in the tomb. By my calculations, Jesus was crucified on Wednesday. He was buried that evening.
Wednesday p.m. to Thursday p.m. = first day
Thursday evening to Friday evening = second day
Friday evening to Saturday evening = third day
It was early on the first day of the week - Sunday morning - that the followers went to the tomb and Jesus was not there. He had risen. How do you see this?
