GE:
I remember, sir; it's you who do not remember because nothing registered in your gearbox when we last discussed this text.
Now in your own words so that you may better remember this time …
The context is clear. It is NOT “The "third day" identified”! “Today …”, as it happened “… on the First Day of the week …” was contextually identified as “… the third day SINCE THESE THINGS” of the Crucifixion and death of Christ.
That is the “context”, ‘contextually’ and textually, BBCist. The place is Luke 24:1-24— CLEOPAS “on the First Day of the week” recalling events of FOUR days AGO, “today … the third day SINCE” it.
That, is the truth.
“THEN …”,
AFTER “he” JESUS “while He talked by the way” had “expounded … Moses and all the prophets in all the Scriptures to them the things concerning Him” and
AFTER “the day was far spent and had declined” and
AFTER they had supper thereafter and
AFTER Jesus had “vanished” out of their presence and
AFTER the two men had gone back to Jerusalem to the other disciples and
AFTER Jesus had “come stand between them where they were”, and
AFTER He had eaten a piece of fish and honey and
AFTER He AGAIN had spoken of how He “fulfilled all things which were written in the Law of Moses and in the prophets and in the Psalms concerning (Him)” and
AFTER He AGAIN had opened “their understanding that they might understand the SCRIPTURES and had said unto them, _THUS_ it is _WRITTEN_ and THUS it BEHOVED the Christ TO SUFFER = PASSOVER and to rise from the dead …”
… THEN ONLY HE, JESUS, mentioned “the third day”.
That was the context in which Jesus mentioned “the “third day””— “_the_ third day” “according to the Scriptures” --- to text, to time, to day, to subject, to relevance, ‘contextually’ TOTALLY REMOVED from Cleopas’ mention “on the First Day of the week” of “today”, as having been “the third day SINCE these things had happened”— which things were the Crucifixion and Death of Jesus FOUR DAYS BEFORE the First Day of the week, the First Day having been “the third day SINCE” those events.
NOW, you, arrogate, “the "third day" … contextually is identified as the first day of the week.”
Do you say you are a Christian, “The Biblicist”?!
I do not say you are not; but whatever you tell me I won’t believe you— not after this …
