Explain how Jesus was in the tomb 3 days & 3 nights.

[Barney2.0]

No it's not. When Jesus was put in tomb the Friday evening which was the first night?

Jesus was crucified and buried on Friday night. On Sunday morning he was discovered by Mary Magdalene a resurrected One, which means that only two nights had passed: one from Friday to Saturday, and the other one from Saturday to Sunday. However the Hebrew would have counted Sunday as a full day and night.

A little bit of Friday, Saturday and a little bit of Sunday could be properly describe as three days and nights to the ancient Hebrews.

 

[Godistruth1]

There is no problem to be solved. He died at the 3rd hour on the 14th of Nisan, Passover. When the lambs were being killed at the Temple, he was hanging on the cross. When the high priest sacrificed the final lamb and said, "it is finished," so did he say the same words and die. He did a Passover Sedar with them the night before. He can't have been alive in the 15th of Nisan during the day and still raise on First Fruits... no math works out that way. He simply had the Sedar the night before.

The question is of him bring in the earth and not when he died, that's irrelevant

How is Sunday morning counted as night also. That's gibberish!

Sunday morning he was alive unless you kill him again and make him resurrect Monday morning

It’s gibberish to judge according to modern day standards.

He was most likely spent some time in the tomb in Sunday morning before the resurrection itself took place.

And his does it make 3 nights? Its only possible if Jesus spent Sunday night also which he didn't.

If by modern calendars then it wouldn’t make it three nights, however the story isn’t recorded using modern day calendars, but the one known to the Jews of that time.

Can you put it in simple words how it works?

A part of a day could be considered as a full day meaning a little bit of Friday, Saturday and a little bit of Sunday could be properly describe as three days and nights to the ancient Hebrews.

Just one night early... God allows for those away to have Unleavened Bread a month later.... nothing says he could have eaten with them the night before, walk through the sedar, point to all that point to him, and have this work out.

It just makes sense that he had Passover a day or so earlier then the rest of Jerusalem. Like I said, they took Jesus down before sunset because they wanted to eat the Passover Meal. These things work themselves out if your willing to do the work of thinking it through.

Grace and peace,

Exactly! Any part of a day was considered a day. The ancient Hebrews are not required to be as analytical as we are, there is an important cultural context to consider here.

BTW, I appreciate your posts, pretty insightful and civil in my estimation.

Grace and peace,

If you say any part of day is considered a day then that's fine but a night must include a night. A day is not a night. If Bible said 3 days only then its fine but it mentions night too then there should be night too.

A little part of a day will be both considered a full day meaning a full day and night.

Do you have any proof of this from Jewish sources or again this is made up answer?

Its not about the sabbath but counting 3 nights from Friday. Its not complicated.

Yes it is about a Sabbath, Passover was actually a Sabbath. It's automatically assumed it's a reference to the normal weekly Sabbath but Passover was a Sabbath and all this requires to resolve this thing is Jesus had Passover a day early. That comes to three nights, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. No it's not complicated.

First show me verse that shows it was a Passover Sabbath and not sabbath and then I will debate passover Sabbath

I did some research and passover is on Friday evening so the claim you made is incorrect

Seriously, don't you think I research it to?

The confusion arose because all the gospels say that there was a rush to get his body off the cross and buried before sundown because the “Sabbath” was near. Everyone assumed the reference to “the Sabbath” had to be Saturday — so the crucifixion must have been on a Friday. However, as Jews know, the day of Passover itself is also a “Sabbath” or rest day — no matter what weekday it falls on. In the year 30 AD Friday, the 15th of the Jewish month Nisan was also a Sabbath — so two Sabbaths occurred back to back — Friday and Saturday. Matthew seems to know this as he says that the women who visited Jesus’ tomb came early Sunday morning “after the Sabbaths” (Matthew 28:1). (The Day Christ Died — Was it on a Thursday or Friday?

Notice the passage in Matthew uses the plural, your not going to find that in most translations. The Greek word here could be singular or plural and like I keep telling you, Passover was a Sabbath.
