What day did Jesus rise from the dead?

[IamNazarene]

Thought this might be of interest to some of you.

The Iewes then because it was the saboth euen, that the bodyes shoulde not remayne vpon the crosse on the saboth day (for that Saboth daye was an hye daye) besought Pylate that theyr legges myghte be broken, and that they myghte be taken doune.

20:1 The morowe after the Saboth daye came Mary Magdalene early when it was yet darcke, vnto the sepulchre, and saw the stone taken awaye from that toumbe.

These verse also provide some very interesting and definitive proof of when Jesus died, and thus when He was resurrected. Jesus Himself said several times that His time in the tomb -

( the tomb is: hell, grave, sheol and hinnom. )

would be three days and three nights, just as the prophet Jonah had spent three days and nights in the fish's belly (see Matthew 12:38-40; 27:63; Mark 8:31; John 2:18-22). This in itself rules out a Friday crucifixion-Sunday resurrection because there is no way to cram three days and three nights between sunset on Friday and sunrise on Sunday.

If Jesus rose exactly three days and three nights after His burial (just before sunset; see Matthew 27:46; Mark 15:34), the only candidate for His resurrection is the very end of the Sabbath at sunset. Counting back three full days, then, Jesus must have died on the previous Wednesday night. Mary found his Tomb empty on Sunday which means he rose Saturday.

True.

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

But as argued forever before this, don't expect others to agree. (tradition is more important to multitudes )

The "and three nights" is a known emendation to the text. The "three days" in all likelihood is as well, so it doesn't help answer the question.

 

[Jeshu]

i agree the official Easter story is not a biblical but a traditional religious feast. The three days and three nights Jesus was talking about are not even taken into account.

Weird how that is.

 

[drjean]

However, one needs to include in one's reckoning that the Hebrews consider any part of a day or night as a day or night. So if it is one hour into the night or the last hour of the night, that is a night, and if it's only one hour into a day or the last hour of the day, it is counted as a day. Rather makes the Scripture easier to understand this way, imo.

The passover season involved an extended Sabbath and not the usual Friday night -Sunday night one. If you read Exodus where is described what should happen during passover, you will see that it involved a longer period. So Jesus could have been crucified on Wednesday and been in the tomb that night, plus Thursday and that night, plus "Friday and that night, and Saturday and that night. That makes three days and three nights. Then He rose on Sunday morning. So it seems that the actual passover Sabbath started two days early and involved three days instead of just the Saturday which would have been for a normal sabbath.

 

[prodromos]

"days and nights" is a figure of speech known as synecdoche, where the part indicates the whole or the whole indicates the part. In this case the whole, "day and night", indicates the parts
Friday evening - 1 day and night
Saturday - 2 days and nights
Sunday morning - 3 days and nights.

Jewish counting was inclusive, so when Jesus is quoted in other passages saying He would rise "on the third day" and "after three days", they are equivalent expressions. They also make it impossible to reconcile with "3 days and 3 nights" meaning three 24 hour periods.

The sign of Jonah also wasn't about the amount of time that he spent in the belly of the fish, but that he emerged alive after that time.

St. Luke in his Gospel narrative also makes it explicitly clear that the first day of the week is when Jesus rose, and that this was the third day "after these things" by which is meant His passion, death, and burial.

Christ died and was buried on Friday before sunset. Christ rose early on the first day of the week (Sunday). That is the explicit timing of the events as given in Scripture.

Friday - Passion, death, and burial.
Saturday - In the grave.
Sunday - He is risen!

-CryptoLutheran

 

[ViaCrucis]

And I am absolutely confident that the arguments against the traditional (and biblical) timing has no basis in an earnest desire to be biblical, but is rooted in anti-traditionalism and anti-catholicism. Those who would argue that Christ could not have been raised on Sunday and claim this was some pagan plot to hijack Christianity toward pagan sun worship would, had it been any other day say the same. Had Christ risen on a Monday, they would say it was a pagan plot for moon worship; had Christ risen on a Tuesday, they would say it was a pagan plot for Mars worship. Indeed, they who say Christ rose on the Sabbath might as well be charged with trying to introduce the worship of Saturn.

But the Church does not celebrate the first day of the week for the sun, instead no longer calling it the day of the sun (hemera Heliou, dies Solis), but the Lord's Day (Kyriake hemera, dies Dominica).

When posting in a forum open to the whole world, and more restricted when posting to members of a forum who already decided against this,
what "new" something would be needed to show them the error of their ways ? Otherwise, there is no reason for them to understand ........ most of the system supports them....

On the morowe after the Saboth, early in the morninge, they came vnto the toumbe and brought the odoures which they had prepared and other women with them.
24:2 And they founde the stone rouled awaye from the sepulchre,
24:3 and wente in, but founde not the bodye of the Lorde Iesu.

The tomb was empty on Sunday which implies he left it the day before.

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

We know much stronger than only by implication, and as written originally, there never was any thought, in the first century, of the myths that arose a few hundred years later either advocating or adopting into so-called Christian circles from heathen nations their myths.

On the morowe after the Saboth, early in the morninge, they came vnto the toumbe and brought the odoures which they had prepared and other women with them.
24:2 And they founde the stone rouled awaye from the sepulchre,
24:3 and wente in, but founde not the bodye of the Lorde Iesu.

For Jews, the day begins at sunset. That leaves several hours before the dawn on Sunday where Jesus could have risen.

It means nothing more than that He rose before they showed up to the tomb. Not that He rose the day before.

Well, one step towards the truth is better than standing still, right ?

He rose before they showed up to the tomb.

Exactly. Anytime after sunset Saturday would have been the first day of the week according to the Jewish reckoning of days. There is plenty of time between sunset and sunrise, even if the Lord rose just after sunset that would still have been the first day of the week.

Jesus' followers wanted to bury Jesus before sunset because they would have been prohibited from burying the dead on the Sabbath, so they requested Jesus' body for burial so they could lay Him in the tomb before the Sabbath came. Mark and John both explicitly mention this (Mark 15:42, John 19:42).

All the biblical material, taken as a whole, is pretty emphatic:

Jesus was buried on Friday before sunset, since the Sabbath began at sunset.
Jesus lay in the tomb all day on the Sabbath, sunset to sunset.
Jesus rose on the third day, that is, the first day of the week, early before sunrise after the Sabbath.

The timing as given in all four Gospels points to this. And it is what Christians have always believed.

"Timing" is subject to change. Subject to further investigation, study and prayer, or revelation in line with God's Word, as/ when/ if/ God sees fit so to do.

Early morning could be anywhere from 12 am to 10 pm, ten hour frame. We don't actually know at what time the ladies came to the tomb. If you want Jesus dead on Friday then he has to of risen on Sunday night for that would equal three days and three nights. He had risen before early Sunday morning which means he had to of risen on Saturday night or at day light, other wise you are half a night out by saying he rose early Sunday morning. So Jesus died Wednessday evening. He can not of died Thursday evening because that would mean he rises Sunday after the ladies came to the tomb.
Now considering that, just to make a little harder, there is a seven hour time difference from Israel to Australia.






Night which means he would of died thursday.
