So you don't see a plural "Sabbaths" in the Aramaic at Matthew 28:1, but it is in the Greek.... Interesting.
If your position is the correct one here, then can the below passages be harmonized if there were just one Sabbath during those three days?
When Y???shua was buried near sundown on the day of the Passover, "Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary" Watched the burial. Matthew 27:58-61.
Immediately after the burial, Luke says: "And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drew on" (Luke 3:54).
The day after this Sabbath the women bought spices, Mark 16:1.
Luke tells us that the women, after preparing the spices, " . . . Rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment" (Luke 23:56).
The traditional interpretation makes Mark and Luke contradict each other.
In Mark 16:1 we are informed that the Sabbath was past when the spices were purchased. the word "Had" is inserted in the English translation without any authority from the Greek text.
In Luke 23:56 we are told that the women prepared the spices and ointments, and rested the Sabbath day.
If Y???shua lay in the tomb on one Sabbath only, Mark and Luke contradict each other. But if He lay there two Sabbaths having a workday between them, then Mark and Luke harmonize to perfection.
