if Jesus died on a Friday evening spent 3 days in a tomb how come?

Question

how come he arose on sunday something don't seem to add up to me.

why are certain people getting so angry because I dared to ask the question..does it offend threre belief system. or can't they stand people who question them , if so are they on the right site

Answer 1

It depends on how we see the beginning of a day. The Jews understood a day from sunset to sunset.

For example, if the sun sets at 6 pm, then the days when Jesus was in the tomb could break down like this:

Day 1: 6 pm Thursday-6 pm Friday
Day 2: 6pm Friday-6 pm Saturday
Day 3: 6pm Saturday-6pm Sunday

Of course on Day 3, the Bible tells us that He rose early on the first day of the week (Luke 24:1), so He wasn't in the tomb for the whole third day. The part "early on the first day" refers to the beginning of Day 3, not early in the morning. In other words, "early on the first day" means around 6 pm on Saturday. It does not refer to the morning hours of Sunday as many Christians think. Saturday was the Sabbath, the first day of the week, according to Jewish practices.

I hope this helps:)

Answer 2

I have heard that he died on Wednesday, the eve of an annual holy day (also called "sabbath" because Jews could not work on an annual holy day) on Thursday, and arose approx. Saturday evening (but wasn't seen until Sunday morning).

I have also heard that it is only post-Newton and post-Industrial Revolution that periods of time are seen as specific lengths in the same way as the length of a journey can be measured. (You find examples, in old-fashioned books, of the same person being variously described as two different ages in two different sentences, without any perceived discrepancy at the time.) Use of zero or numbers below 1 as a concept was very limited even long after the numeral zero came into use in our culture.

So a baby born 20 hours ago, by our reckoning is less than a day old, but would be called 2 days old by someone from times past because so far it has existed in yesterday and in today. (Doesn't matter that it was only there for a small part of yesterday and half of this day.)

So if the Bible had said that Jesus would be in the tomb for 1.8 days or whatever it may have been, generation after generation of people would have been totally confused. And if the Bible had simply rounded it up to 2, it would have been considered at the time as a complete untruth. In the terms of the time, a bit of Friday, all of Saturday and a bit of Sunday = 3 days, and there was simply no other way of describing it.

When reading the Bible, we already have to use historical awareness. For instance, in New Testament times women and slaves were advised to keep the status quo and not to start rebellions, because Christianity at the time was too small to exert any political influence to change society, and it would simply bring down the wrath of the powers-that-were. This does NOT mean that subjugation of women and the poor is OK, and I don't think you'll find anyone who thinks it is. Neither does it make the truths of the Bible invalid.

Answer 3

The traditional view of the chronology of Jesus' death and resurrection sees His dying on a Friday and raising on Sunday translating the texts "on the third day." This has traditionally been explained that the Jewish way of reckoning days in Jesus' era was to count portions of days. Therefore, if Jesus died at approximately 3pm, He was dead three hours on Friday (for the first day, Jews counting 6pm as our midnight), all day Saturday (for the second day), and for a little while Sunday morning (for the third day). If Jesus had prophesied that He would rise on the second day, a protagonist may object that Jesus died minutes before 6pm Friday and resuscitated minutes after 6pm Saturday. The idea, either way is that He truly died.

The multiple Sabbath view has been gaining popularity in recent years. Jesus' death and resurrection occurred during Passover Week. Recent evidence indicates that Jews would have had two special sabbatic days and one normal one that week. The first (Passover Sabbath) would have been on Thursday, the second (Unleavened Bread Sabbath) would have been on Friday, and the third (regular weekly Sabbath) would have been on Saturday. According to the multiple Sabbath view Jesus would have died at 3pm Wednesday, been buried before the Passover Sabbath began at 6pm, stayed in the sealed tomb until Sunday morning, and raised sometime around dawn. This puts Jesus in the grave for all 24-hour periods of the Jewish reckoning of days (6pm - 6pm) on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (with a few hours on the front and back ends just to stave off protagonists). The idea, either way is that He truly died.

That's why some ardently hold to a Friday - Sunday chronology and insist on the term "rose on the third day," but others hold to a Wednesday - Sunday chronology. The idea, either way is that He truly died. Thanks for asking.

Answer 4

The Bible says that Jesus dies around 3 pm on Friday this being day 1. Day 2 started at 6 pm (Jewish custom) Friday evening to Saturday evening at 6 pm where day 3 starts. day 3 being Saturday evening to Sunday morning.
This adds up to 3 days...

Answer 5

Catholics were mistaken on their belief, I think.They have wrongfully computed the days of the Hebrew Calendar.

For your information, The Roman Catholics have change the days and dates in the calendar which we are using now and that is why it is called the Roman calendar. They did not follow the calendar of the Hebrews and they made calendar which were distributed through out the world when they spread Christianity and they have made us to believe that their calendar is the original calendar from the Hebrews,

So do not believe that it was Friday when Jesus was nailed on the cross and died and on Sunday he rose from the dead.There is no such date in the bible and no days as Friday and Sunday in the bible.

Answer 6

It has to do with the way the Jews reckoned days. We must be careful to no longer press our very own way of staring on the international into the biblical passage. Jesus replaced right into a Jew, and he replaced into chatting with Jews. He replaced into interior the grave on Friday evening, all of Saturday, and into Sunday till the time he rose. To the Jewish innovations at that element it replaced into adequate to call it 3 days. Edit: No that's no longer incorrect. As I already defined, that's a thoroughly diverse way of staring at issues and we can not stress our very own wisdom onto the biblical passage. the individuals who have been Jesus' contemporaries could have understood this in exactly the way I extremely have laid it out. So that's extremely no longer a difficulty till you pick it to be, which you curiously do. provided that, there is extremely no longer something i will do for you. It replaced into extreme-high quality speaking to you.

Answer 7

Not 3 full days. Friday in tomb, Saturday, rose Sunday

Answer 8

There are probably many things that don't add up to you and we can't help that.

If, as it is told he was put into his tomb on Friday evening and rose Sunday morning, we are only talking about maybe 48 hours. But what difference does that make anyway?

Answer 9

I don't understand your question! The Bible didn't say that it Christ had to remain in the grave for 72 hours or 4,320 min or 259,200 seconds exactly!

Is that your problem?

Christ was supposed to be in the grave over a period of three days. The fact that the scripture itself shows this to be a period of ca. 40 hours is neither here nor there.

If God only wanted Christ to be dead for approximately 40 hours that ran into three different days, then that must have satisfied God, right? After all, it was God that resurrected Christ -- he couldn't very well do anything himself! He was dead -- remember?

Answer 10

he rose again on the third day! friday 1 saturday 2 and sunday 3
