Good Wednesday or Good Friday?

[konway87]

This is the explanation of what I wrote before.

I believe that Jesus resurrected at the end of Saturday (right before Saturday 6pm). This is right before the beginning of Sunday.

Let me take verses from the Bible.

John 19:42 (Murdock) - And there laid Jesus, because the sabbath had commenced, and the sepulchre was near.

Luke 23:50-56 (Murdock) - "And there was a certain man, whose name was Joseph, a counsellor, from Ramath a city of Judaea, who was a good man and righteous; and he had not consented to their decision and deed; and he was waiting for the kingdom of God. This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. And he took it down, and wrapped it in a winding-sheet of linen; and laid it in an excavated sepulchre, in which no one had hitherto been laid. And it was the day of preparation, and the sabbath began to dawn. And those women who came with him from Galilee, approached, and viewed the sepulchre, and the manner in which the body was deposited. And they returned, and prepared perfumes and aromatics; and they rested on the sabbath, as it is commanded."

Mark 16:1 (Murdock) - "And when the sabbath had passed, Mary Magdalena, and Mary [the mother] of James, and Salome, bought aromatics, that they might come and anoint him."

We know that they rested on sabbath after they prepared the perfumes and aromatics. In Mark, we see that women bought aromatics after Sabbath. This shows that there were 2 Sabbaths.

And John 19:31 (Murdock) - "And because it was the preparation, the Jews said: These bodies must not remain all night upon the cross: because the sabbath was dawning; and the day of that sabbath was a great day. And they requested of Pilate, that they should break the legs of those crucified, and take them down."

So we know that this was a Great sabbath. Not a regular Sabbath

Now I am going to explain 3 days and 3 nights. Jesus was buried right before the beginning of Sabbath (Wednesday 6pm).

Wednesday 6pm to Thursday 6pm - High or Great Sabbath

Thursday 6pm to Friday 6pm - After Sabbath, women bought aromatics (Mark 16:1). Women prepared the perfumes and aromatics (Luke 23:56).

Friday 6pm to Saturday 6pm - And they rested on the sabbath, as it is commanded (Luke 23:56).

So let's just say that Jesus Christ was buried at the end of Wednesday. This is shortly before the beginning of Thursday (Wednesday 6pm)

Wednesday 6pm to Thursday 6 pm - one night and one day
Thursday 6pm to Friday 6pm - one night and one day
Friday 6pm to Saturday 6pm - one night and one day

And the result comes up as 3 nights and 3 days.

Mark 8:31 (Murdock) - "And he began to teach them, that the Son of man was about to suffer much, and be rejected by the Elders and by the chief priests and by the Scribes, and be killed, and rise on the third day."

So my calculation comes up to the point that Jesus rose at the end of Saturday, which is the third day. This is shortly before the beginning of the first day of the week.

John 6:38-40 (Murdock) - "For I came down from heaven, not to do my own pleasure, but the pleasure of him that sent me. And this is the pleasure of him that sent me, that whatever he hath given me, I should lose nothing of it, but should raise it up at the last day. For this is the pleasure of my Father, that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day."

This verse makes the subject more interesting. These verses gives "more possibility" that Jesus rose on Saturday (Seventh and the last day of the week). These verses shows what Father wants his beloved Son to do on earth.

I am only using verses from the Bible. My request is if you are going to disagree with this subject, then please use the verses from the Bible. And not from outside sources.
