Answer 1

The Jewish day began at sundown. The Passover began at sundown on Nisan 14. Jesus was dead before the following sunset. Therefore, he died on the day of the Passover, on Nisan 14.

Answer 2

The Sabbath is the Sabbath. Christians doesnt see Sunday as the Sabbath. You can never take 6 and make it 7. Sunday is worshipped as the "Lords Day" for it was early Sunday morning while it was still dark that the women came to the tomb and found the stone had been rolled away.

The Sabbath was a part of the Dispensation of Law. But the Dispensation of Grace came by Jesus Christ. The Sabbath Day was according to the Law.

The Law of which Jesus said; I came not to destroy but to fulfill. The Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus was just that. The fulfillment of the Law.

The Death as the Lamb of God was the fulfillig of the day of Atonement - as the Passover Lamb. The Sabbath of Rest, was fulfilled in His Burial, and His Resurrection was the Fulfillment of the Wave Sheaf Offering.

The "first day of the week" as is recorded in most English translation of the Bible is speaking of Sunday. However is a misintrepertation of the original Greek which is the "first of Sabbaths." This day in the original is called the first of Sabbaths. Because it is referring to the day of the Wave Sheaf Offering, and the 50 days leading up to Pentecost. Within this period of time, there are Seven Sabbaths.

(Note) Most people are unware that during crucifixion week of Jesus, there was two Sabbaths. (1) The Annual Sabbath, and (2) the Weekly Sabbath.

In the Bible we read that "after the Sabbath had passed" they went and bought the spices to prepare the body of Jesus. Then another place we read that they rested the Sabbath, and went to the tomb the very next morning.

PS: I believe in the "Two Sabbaths" because the women could not purchase the spices after the Sabbath, yet prepare those spices before the Sabbath—unless there were two Sabbaths.

With the two-Sabbath view, if Christ was crucified on Thursday, then the high holy Sabbath (the Passover) would have begun Thursday at sundown and ended at Friday sundown—at the beginning of the weekly Sabbath or Saturday.

And, purchasing the spices after the first Sabbath (Passover) would have meant they purchased them on Saturday and were breaking the Sabbath.

Therefore, the only explanation that does not violate the biblical account of the women and the spices and holds to a literal understanding of Matthew 12:40, is that Christ was crucified on Wednesday.

The Sabbath that was a high day (Passover) occurred on Thursday, the women purchased spices (after that) on Friday and returned and prepared the spices on the same day. Then they rested on Saturday which was the Weekly Sabbath, then brought the spices to the tomb early Sunday.

As stated Jesus was buried near sundown on Wednesday, which began Thursday in the Jewish calendar. Using a Jewish calendar, we have the three days and three nights - Thursday night (night one), Thursday day (day one), Friday night (night two), Friday day (day two), Saturday night (night three), Saturday day (day three). “For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."

We don't know exactly when Jesus rose, but we do know that it was before sunrise on Sunday according to John 20:1. The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

Answer 3

He died on Good Friday ( I think Passover is before that) and rose on Easter Sunday. I have never heard of the Feast of the Unleaven Bread though. Could it be that it is called The Last Supper? The Last Supper was on Thurs.

Answer 4

How was there Good Friday before he died ? Jesus died on a Wednesday .Six days before "Good Friday" would have been Saturday.That's when Christ was traveling to Bethany ( John 1:21 ) It was a violation of the law for a Jew to travel on Saturday( Sabbath ) , thus Jesus and many other Jews would have violated the Law.He spent three days and nights in hell before he arose.

Answer 5

Wednesday. The bible specifically says that he was alive by early Sunday morning, before sunrise.

Mat 12:40 says "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."

A Friday crucifixion does not allow enough time for this statement by Christ to be true.

Answer 6

ok so that you've seen different solutions and that i will re-iterate what some human beings have reported and then upload somethings besides. i will start up through telling you that "sturdy friday" isn't everywhere interior the bible. it truly is precisely a catholic situation alongside with lent and so on. It replaced into likely popularized through the roman empire to compete with a pagan holiday of an same era, like the date of christmas likely replaced into. in case you saved studying the bible, rather of islamic web content that "answer christianity" you would have discovered something interior the recent testomony pertaining to 2 significant issues. Jesus reported sunlight-up is 12 hours and sunlight-down is 12 hours which makes in some unspecified time sooner or later equivalent to 24 hours. He replaced into lifeless for 3 days (seventy 2 hours) and resurrected. it really is what the bible says. The bible also says that he replaced into killed formerly sunset on the day formerly the sabbath. The bible says he resurrected formerly sunset on the sabbath. i visit be sure how this complicated to many. heritage factors to the once a year passover sabbath taking position an same time Jesus replaced into killed. the once a year passover sabbath is held 2 days formerly the weekly sabbath it really is on a saturday, which makes the once a year passover sabbath on a thursday. So, in accordance to the bible, many historic archives, and historic Jewish custom, Jesus replaced into killed formerly sunset on the day formerly the passover sabbath (Wednesday) and replaced into resurrected formerly sunset on the weekly sabbath (Saturday). formerly sunset on wednesday --to-- formerly sunset on saturday equals an finished seventy 2 hours.

Answer 7

Okay, I don't care what other people answer b/c they don't know the answer b/c they weren't there. So, for all we know he could have died on a Tuesday b/c of all of our years that we have leap year and other things that man has decided to change days of the year in order to control something that is uncontrolable. That's why winter is not the same anymore. That's why summer last longer or so we believe. Man is just that.. not the creator but the destroyer.

Answer 8

I believe Friday was a special Sabbath that year.A special day of preparation.That Jesus was crucified on Thursday could be very real.But having said that,the Jews counted any part of a day ...a day.So Jesus (if He was ) crucified on Friday ,taken down and buried Friday afternoon(one day),Saturday (day two) Sunday morning He rises (day three).

Answer 9

He arose on Easter Sunday...Crucified 3 days before

Answer 10

Good Friday and rose on Easter Sunday.
