#364 Of course not, but He was using exactly the same figure of speech as was used in Jonah 1:17. And that it is a figure of speech is made clear beyond all doubt from the testimony of the disciples met by Christ on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24. Christ met them on the road on Sunday, and referring to His crucifixion they state, "it is now the third day since this happened".
Sunday = 3rd day
Sabbath = 2nd day
Friday = 1st day
Jews count inclusively.

Rejected! Referring to his Crucifixion they stated, "it is now the third day SINCE this happened".
Sunday = 3rd day SINCE
Sabbath = 2nd day SINCE
Friday = 1st day SINCE
Thursday = the day OF his Crucifixion, counted arithmetically.
#372 This post is manipulation. This post would not be manipulation, read it,
...the testimony of the disciples met by Christ on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24. Christ met them on the road on Sunday, and referring to His crucifixion they state, "it is now the third day since this happened".
Sunday = 3rd day SINCE his Crucifixion
Sabbath = 2nd day SINCE his Crucifixion
Friday = 1st day SINCE his Crucifixion
Thursday = the day OF his Crucifixion
Those Jews counted exclusively; they said so!

#374 No, that is how we would interpret such a statement in English culture today. That is not how Jews interpreted it. Their counting of days was inclusive of the day they were counting from.

#386 LOL, who is manipulating??? There is no day 0...

Where have you seen <<day 0...>> in what I wrote? Read, “the day _OF_ his Crucifixion”, not <<day 0...>>, Einstein! John wrote “it was”, not <<day O…>>, but “it was The Preparation DAY OF The Passover”—“The Passover-of-YAHWEH”, The Law is written of that “it SHALL BE This That Selfsame Whole Day of Substance-BONE-DAY” you have never heard of and never in your heart has come up, which DAY you never could, have had an idea of or never could, have thought EXISTED, and if you knew it existed, would with your whole being have DENIED AND CURSED AND ANATHEMATIZED!
