If jesus rose form the dead in 72 hours, How do you get 72 hours from Friday through Sunday. ?Not possible?

Answer 1

The LORD Jesus Christ rose on the "third" day, not in three days. Therefore, Friday (1st), Sat. (2nd), and Sun (3rd). Praise the LORD! God bless.

Answer 2

Lots of people have stumbled over that one. Strange, because it seems so simple to me.
He rose ON the third day...not after three days.
So, He died Friday afternoon...and He was placed in His tomb before the sun went down.
That is the first day.
He spent Saturday resting...He takes after His Father, I guess.
That would be the second day.
He rose from the tomb on Sunday...and I guess we know what day it was!
It was the Third Day...

You know, when I first figured this out, I was embarrassed to think I was really so dull as to have missed it at all. Just goes to show what happens when you pay more attention to the guy behind the pulpit than you do to your own Bible.
DOH...

The point of the whole thing is not how long He spent in the tomb, anyhow. It is the fact that His tomb has been empty ever since.

Answer 3

The Jews counted any part of a day as "a day". It also occurs in the Old Testament, I belief with Ester. Friday - one day, Saturday, two days, Sunday, third day. Others have said Jesus was crucified on a Wednesday so he was in for the full Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, but for me it doesn't make a difference. If a person rose from the dead, I don't care if it was 3 full days or fragments of 3 days.....

Answer 4

Patrone is correct. I have never heard of it being 72 hours later. Where'd you get that from?

Now here come the Atheists. This will be a field day for 'em, I'm sure.

It's always fun to see people like Punter twist things to suit them.
Ailene - Noah was able to do so because of God.

Answer 5

Jesus died before sundown on Friday...he stayed in the ground for parts of 3 days and nights.
They start counting a day at sundown.

Answer 6

He rose on the third day. Where does it say 72 hours?
FRIDAY was the first day (he died). SATURDAY was the second day (he lay in the tomb). SUNDAY was the third day (he rose).

Answer 7

"Taking a part for the whole. So Esther lasted three days and three nights, Es 4:16, and yet on the third day she went to the king, Es 5:1. So, then, the fast lasted not three whole days and nights, but two nights, one full day, and two pieces of days." (John Trapp)

Answer 8

"PUNTER" answered that Jesus did not fulfill His own prophecy concerning Jonah.
In Matthew 12 He said, "...so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." Nothing about Jonah being dead or alive, just three days and three nights.
When Jesus said, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." two verses later, Scripture says, "But He was speaking of the temple of His body."

Answer 9

Are 3 days and 3 nights equal to 2 days and 1 night?
Jesus was put in the sepulchre just before sunset on Friday (Good Friday) and was found missing before sunrise on Sunday (Easter). If we were to s-t-r-e-t-c-h the time frame a bit, one may say that Jesus spent three days in the earth, but there is no way and I repeat, no way, that Jesus spent three nights in the earth. We must not forget that the Gospels are explicit in telling us that it was "before sunrise" on Sunday morning that Mary Magdalene went to the tomb of Jesus and found it empty.
Consequently, there are some inconsistencies as to whether Jesus fulfilled his own prophecy. Whether he was actually crucified, or if the day (Good Friday) of his alleged Crucifixion is wrong. Another significant point to mention is that Jonah was alive in the belly of the whale. The Christians says, Jesus was dead in the belly of the earth/tomb, and this contradicts Jesus’ own prophecy. Jesus said (Luke 11:30): "As Jonah was...so shall the Son of man be."
If Jonah was alive, so was Jesus.
Did Jesus pbuh prayed for help to avoid Crucifixion? Was Jesus not crucified?
One critical event that took place before the alleged Crucifixion was the prayer of Jesus to God for help. Luke 22:42: "Saying Father if thou be willing, remove this cup (of death) from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine be done."
Jesus’ prayer not to die on the cross was accepted by God according to Luke 22:43 and Hebrews 5:7. Therefore, if all of Jesus’ prayer were accepted by God, including not to die on the cross, how could he have died on the cross?
Qur’an 4:157: "That they (Jews) said boasting, "We killed Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah, but they (Jews) killed him not, nor crucified him..."

Answer 10

Jesus rose from the dead and went to heaven but no one saw it happen. There was no reason for the stone to be moved unless someone was up to no good.
