We know it wasn't Thur., He couldn't have risen after 3 days and Mary Magdalene have found Him Sun. morning. He would have still been in the tomb.

That's for sure! I'm sure of Wed, but not that sure.

It had to be Wed. there is no other possibility.

To clarify "the after 3 days" remember around the 5 min. mark in the video the gentleman was proving that "after 3 days" is the same as "on the 3rd day? So he confirmed Christ rose from the dead "after 3 days." That is not possible with a Thur. crucifixion. As I said, that would place Christ...

That leaves us with Wed. fulfilling everything except the the disciples who said "this is the 3rd day.

Plus the "the after 3 days" resurection is not possible with a thurs. crucifixion. That would place the "3rd day" on Sun. at sunset, when Mary Magdalene found Him on Sun. morning.

There is only 2 explanations for a Thurs. crucifixion. Back to back Sabbaths or the High Sabbath replacing the weekly Sabbath. There is no mention in Scripture of either happening.

I would like to hear what he doesn't mention. Where does the Sabbath day of Unleavened Bread fit in his theory?

The case for a Thur. crucifixion is back to back Sabbaths. Thurs being the preparation day, the day of the crucifixion, and then a High Day Sabbath followed by the weekly Sabbath Sat. I think this very unlikely.

I've heard some explanations for this but none of them made sense to me. Many see it as a Thur. crucifixion, but that doesn't fit the High Day Sabbath. So I guess it's another "repent and be baptized" thing, pick your poison.

I was told the 7 High Day Sabbaths are High Days because all of them require a sacrifice that represented Christ in some way. In Lev. 23:7 The First Day of Unleavened Bread it is called a " holy convocation" meaning a special gathering together of Israel, or a High Day.

I agree it's the 14th. On a Wed. crucifixion it would have been Thur. Fri. Sat. 3 days. It was Sunday morning when He met the "two of them" so I wonder were they counting Sunday?

We have the same understanding on some things, the KJV, and now this. No telling what's next, lol.

I guess tradition says Fri. but that's not counting for the first day of Unleavened Bread being a Sabbath day of rest.

I've never really paid attention to the exact date of His death. Do the dates work out for a Wed. or Thur. death?

As I understand it, which can't be proven by the way, is that the High Sabbath fell on a Fri., which was the preparation day for the weekly Sasbbath. It was placed on Thur. with Fri. the preparation day for the weekly Sabbath which was normal. They were in a hurry to get Christ in the tomb...

Post # 9, I pulled from online as quick reference.

I'm not saying the length of time is changed, I'm saying there were 2 Sabbaths that week.

The scholars specifically point out the "High Day" in John 19:31 is referring to one of the 7 High Sabbaths. In this case it's the First Day of Unleavened Bread. It's moved to Thur. with Fri. being the preparation day for the weekly Sabbath.

Post # 10 is how I understand it being these High Sabbaths could fall any day of the week. That's what I gathered from the scholars, and it fits with Christ crucified on Wed.
