Jesus Rose On Friday Morning

I have recently had to change my position on Jesus rising on the Sabbath just as I had to change my position before that when I used to believe that He rose on the first day of the week (e.g. Sunday): that is because of Luke's orderly account of the the life, death, and resurrection of Christ.
If we compare all four Gospel accounts then we see that they are in agreement: Joseph and Nicodemus lay and wrap the body of Christ in the tomb (see Mark 15:42-46 Cf. Luke 23:50-54, John 19:38-42); Mary and the other women follow Joseph and Nicodemus in order to know where Jesus has been buried in order that they might prepare spices and ointments for Christ themselves: this is why they return after having bought the aforementioned items (see Matthew 28:1 ff., Mark 15:47-16:2 ff. Cf. Luke 23:55-24:1 ff., John 20:1 ff.). We see then that there is no contradiction between these accounts. The contradiction which arises can be seen in the Greek as well as the English for the translators write "...first day of the week..." but, this is wrong for from the context in all of the Gospel accounts it is made clear that the women did not return the after the Sabbath of the 1st Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread; nor, the Sabbath of the 7th Day of the Week; nor, of the Sabbath of the 7th Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread:

In the Greek the word for week is Sabbaton which denotes plural Sabbaths but, why is week used? That is because the writers wanted it to be clear that it was not either of the three Sabbaths that Christ rose but more specifically, in the week that those Sabbaths fell: namely the week of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. This is made clearer in the English when we understand that day is in italics: meaning that the word is not found in the original manuscripts. Now to be fair we have many of these passages which have italicized but, as is often the case they are mainly inserted to give clarity to the passage which would otherwise be unintelligible in English . Examples of this can be seen in the creation week where we read:

"...:and God saw that good..."

"...:and God saw that it was good..."


Getting back to the Gospels we see that day does not belong in the text as it does not add clarity to the text but, distorts the context of it: for the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread had already passed and, we know mathematically that the 1st Day of the Week (e.g. Sunday) does not qualify as it would betray the Greek Sabbaton. My final piece of evidence is Luke 24:1-24. We are told that the women came to the tomb on the first week (v. 1-4); two angels reminds them that He would rise on the third day (vv.5-7); the women tell the apostles who, run to check their testimony (vv. 8-12); two of the apostles (one being Cleopas) are walking to Emmaus in Jerusalem and run into Jesus whom they recgonize not, and they tell Jesus that today is the third day that the Messiah was to rise: that day being the same day which the women saw the angels and the apostles saw the tomb of Christ empty (vv. 13-24). In conclusion it is clear from scripture, the Greek and English, YHWH's Calendar, mathematics, and logic that Christ in the 1st Month:

Was buried the 14th (Tuesday) in the afternoon.
(0 Days 1 Night)
15th Day (Wednesday)
(1 Day 2 Nights)
16th Day (Thursday)
(2 Days 3 Nights)
Rose the 17th Day (Friday) in the morning
(3 Days 3 Nights)

This is why the women come early in the morning and after taking Luke into account we see that all of these things occured in the same day as stated in the other three Gospels: Luke is the only one of the three to explicitly say these things occured on the third day while the other three Gospels imply that this happened due to his ressurection and the priests bribing the guards to spread a false lie about Jesus fulfilling the resurrection. Please read my previous blog entries Enoch, Priestly Order, New Moon, Full Moon, and Gregorian Calendars Synched and Proof of 364 Day Solar Calendar in the Bible (without Quoting 1 Enoch or Jubilees) for clarity on the timing of Jesus' resurrection.
