Friday The Feast

After this because it was the Preparation, Joseph of Arimathea, secretly for fear of the Jews, went[1] in[2] boldly unto Pilate[3], (and) besought (him) that he might take away the body of Jesus.[4] And Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore and took down[5] the body of Jesus (and) away[6]. Having bought linen[7], Joseph wrapped[8] the body. There came also Nicodemus who the first time came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh about an hundred pound. Then prepared[9] they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen with the spices as the manner of the Jews is to bury.[10]

Daylight Procession

The women also, who came with Him from Galilee (Mary Magdalene and the other Mary), followed the procession.[1]

There was a garden in the place where He was crucified, and in the garden a new sepulchre, hewn out of rock[2], wherein was never man yet laid.[3] There laid they[4] Jesus because of the Jews’ preparations.[5]

Mary Magdalene and the other Mary sitting over against the sepulchre[6] beheld where[7] (and) how his body was laid.[8]

(Joseph) rolled a great[9] stone unto the door of the sepulchre[10], and departed.[11]

(The women) returned home also, and prepared spices and ointments.[12]

The day was The Preparation, afternoon while the Sabbath drew on.[13]

Saturday (Abib 16)

“First Sheaf Wave Offering Before the LORD; on the day after the sabbath (of the Passover, Abib 15).”[1]

The women began[2] to rest the Sabbath Day according to the (Fourth) Commandment.[3]

The morning sunrise, all their precautions despite, the chief priests and Pharisees had a meeting with Pilate, and protested, But Sir, we remember this deceiver said while he was yet alive, After[4] three days I will rise again! Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day has passed; lest his disciples come by night and steal him away, and say, he is risen.[5] So they secured the tomb by sealing the stone and setting a watch.[6]


[1] Lv23:10,15-16

[2] Ingressive Aorist. Cf. Lv23:32, Dt24:15

[3] Lk23:56b

[4] “After” is used idiomatically for Matthew’s usual “the third day”, 12:40, 16:21,23, 20:19. “After tree days” – not ‘after the third day’! It does not mean on a fourth day after three days. Cf. 26:2, “after two days the Feast”, inclusive of first and last days.

[5] Mt27:62-64

[6] Mt27:66

 

[Gerhard Ebersoehn]

In the slow hours[1] of the Sabbath’s[2] after noon[3], towards the First Day of the week – explained the angel[4] – (when) Mary Magdalene and the other Mary set out[5] to go[6] have a look at the grave[7], Behold! there was a great earthquake: For the angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and hurled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow. And for fear of him the keepers did shake and became as dead.[8]

Sunday (Abib 17)

And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought sweet spices that when[1] they come, they might anoint Him.[2]

Early darkness still the First Day of the week, Mary Magdalene comes[3] to the sepulchre and sees the stone taken away from it! Then she runs and comes to Peter.[4]

On the First Day of the week, deep dark morning[5], they[6] and certain other with them, went[7] to the grave bringing their spices which they had prepared. And they found[8] the stone rolled away from the grave.[9]

[1] They did not then, immediately, go to the tomb, but first waited.

[2] Mk16:1a Salome did not know of events.

[3] Notice the Present!

[4] Jn20:1 futher

[5] Lk24:1 ‘órthrou bathéohs’

[6] The two Marys and Salome. A variant has “three women”.

[7] Notice the Past!

[8] Just as Mary must have told them!

[9] Lk24:1 further

 

[Gerhard Ebersoehn]

Very early before sunrise on the First Day of the week, they[1], nearing the tomb and talking among themselves, wondered: Who could have rolled the stone away for us (for it was exceedingly big!)?[2] So on re-investigation[3] they found that the stone was thrown back uphill![4] ... They fled from the sepulchre, for they trembled and were amazed. They told nobody anything, because they were afraid.[5] ... But Mary remained standing in front of the tomb, weeping. She bent down and looked inside the sepulchre. ... She turned herself around, and saw Jesus ... supposing Him to be the gardener ...[6] Risen (Jesus), very early daylight on the First Day of the week, first appeared to Mary Magdalene.[7]

[1] Mary Magdalene, the other Mary and Salome, but probably ‘others with them’ again.

[2] Mk16:4c, They were familiar with the situation already; it was not their first visit to the tomb!

[3] Mk16:4a, ‘anablepsasai’

[4] Mk16:4b, ‘anakekúlistai’

[5] Mk16:8

[6] Jn20:11 further

[7] Mk16:9 The other women must have returned to the grave after Jesus had appeared to Mary, when “The angel explained to them”, and they believed, and Jesus appeared to them while they went to tell the others. Refer to Mt28:5 further.

This post finishes Thursday; Sorry for the omission!

It was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the passover.[1]
It was the Preparation of Passover six o’clock am ... Behold, your King![2] It was the third hour when they crucified Him.[3] When the sixth hour was come, there was darkness until the ninth hour.[4] Jesus then after, yielded up the ghost.[5]

And all the people that came to that sight, when having seen the things which were done, went away and returned.[6]

Sorry for the liberty abused - it wasn't intentional.

And thanks at least the fact you browsed this thread! It seems nobody is interested -- and all I presented is the pure words of the Scriptures!

 

[EdSutton]

-- and all I presented is the pure words of the Scriptures!

Well, almost, at least. Just the briefest of words of interpretation ("lunch"; "late", e.g.), aside from some of the purported chronology.
But we still do manage to have the Lord arise on the Sabbath, don't we??

Don't have the time, unfortuantely, to get deep into some of this now, having been quite busy on the farm, recently.
