It's not about Roman math, it's about Jewish reckoning.
A part of three days was reckoned as three days.
Part of Friday, all of Saturday, and part of Sunday.
Maybe you should have taken a bit more time to read what I wrote. I addressed God's time/Jewish time. I also emphasized the time that Yeshua was speaking of, for those who wanted to debate timing.
A sign has to be fulfilled exactly else the one giving it is a false prophet.
If he would have said he would be in the grave 3 days then possibly your timing would work but that's not what he said. He used the sign of Jonah so it couldn't be argued and debated later (yet it still is). By saying 3 days AND 3 nights he is making it from a point where the meaning is 24 hours each.
He was not speaking rhetorically, symbolically, nor about spiritual light and dark, but about the sun traversing the sky three times and darkness covering Jerusalem three times during His predicted time in the grave.
The Messiah was executed at noon on Wednesday, the 14th of Nisan; He died at three o’clock.
It took time to go to Pilate and ask for the body then come back and take him down and bring him to the tomb.
He was placed in the tomb
at dusk just before the 15th started.
He stayed in the tomb until shortly
before sundown on the 18th,(this being the weekly Sabbath) having been in the grave for the “evening” of the 15th and 16th and 17th, and for the “day” of the 15th, 16th, and 17th.
3 full days and nights just like Jonah.
The 18th that year was First fruits when the counting of the omer started. This was always a 1st day of the week. He talked to Mary and told her not to cling to him for he hadn't arisen yet to the Father.
There are two 'arisings' at play here.
1. From the Grave, from death.
2. To Heaven to present himself as first fruits from the dead to the Father.
He is the firstfruits of the one and only resurrection to which NT apostolic teaching testifies; i.e., of all mankind.
Yes, that is what I've been trying to explain.
It's not replacement theology, it's fulfillment theology. . .the NT fulfills the OT.
I made that comment in response to what expo said:
"What's more, Jesus tomb is in a garden, evoking echoes of the garden of Eden in Genesis. The hints are clear, this is a new creation story intended to supersede the story told in Genesis."
The real replacement theology is this replacement of the NT's testimony to Jesus resurrection before daylight on Sunday with a resurrection in the daylight of Saturday.
Just before the sun goes down it is not really considered 'daylight'.
As Jesus said there are 12 hours in a day which means there are also 12 hours in the night. That time of year near the vernal equinox when day and night are of equal length that tells us the timing.
He arose say around 5:30pm when the sun went down at 5:45 - From 5:45pm until sun up would be 12 hours later to 5:45 AM
In the New Covenant, God's Ten Commandments are summed up in one rule: love of God and neighbor as self (Ro 13:8-10).
In fulfilling that one rule, you have fulfilled all.
That's what it should be, but what you quoted doesn't say that.
8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” [
b]“You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if
there is any other commandment, are
all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love
is the fulfillment of the law.
Notice he left out '
Loving God' which according to Jesus it the FIRST and GREATEST commandment.
"But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb" (Lk 24:1, cf Mt 28:1).
Magdalene preceded them by a short time.
Now the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. John 20----
Yes, after Shabbat was over
then she could go there. But
he wasn't there for he had arisen
before the sun went down.
It does get complicated as the synoptics don't really agree...
Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. 2 Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
But the point is that
it doesn't matter when they came because no one witnessed his resurrection. Only the Angels that testified when the women got there.
Roman time, Saturday is until midnight. . .but Jewish time, Saturday is only until sundown.
In Jewish time, the day is almost half over at daybreak,
Unless he rose in the daylight of Saturday, he rose on Sunday, Jewish time.
The first day of the week started at sundown of the seventh day of the week.
There is no NT testimony of Jesus rising on the seventh day of the week, which would be ln daylight.
See all I wrote above. I have full understanding of Jewish time as I keep it regarding Holy Days,being a Jew.
He was put in the grave just before sundown, and raised just before sundown three days/night later, Just before sundown, not really daylight.
There is no testimony of it still being the Sabbath, the end of the Sabbath,
because no one was there because they were Keeping the Sabbath.
You gave Matthew 28:1 as a rebuttal but this is what it says:
In
the end of the sabbath, as
it began to dawn toward
the first day
of the week, came Mary Magdalene and
the other Mary to see
the sepulchre.
The 'end of the Shabbat' is as the sun is going down.
Dawning toward the first day of the week means twilight, just after the sun goes down behind the horizon but there is still light in the sky but the sun cannot be seen.
It is not dawning towards dawn.
