...If scripture says he was dead for 3 days and 3 nights? My theory is that he ate the Passover on Wednesday night, was crucified Thursday, and was dead from Thursday night to Sunday morning. That's the only way to get the 3 days and 3 nights. (Keep in mind that the Hebrew "day" began at sunset and ended at sunset the next day.) Also, because Wednesday was the passover, there was a High Sabbath that week. Leviticus 23:7 says that the 14th day of the first month is the Passover; the next day, the 15th, is the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is also a yearly sabbath; nobody works on that day, which would explain why there was a multitude clamoring for Jesus' crucifixion - nobody was at work. The weekly sabbath would have begun Friday at sunset. Jesus would have arose sometime between sunset Saturday and sunrise Sunday. What are your thoughts on this? Serious responses only, please.
