Timeline of Jesus' Death

[good samaritan]

If He had been buried after 12AM Friday that could count for a whole night. It would be probable that crucifixion occured on a Thursday even if that is the case.

Friday 3PM till sunset 1day even though not full
sat sunset to sunup night 1
sat sunup to sunset day 2
Sun. sunset to sun up night 2
Sunday he arose day 3
Where is the third night? IMO the 3 days and 3 nights can be partial, but if this is the case there isn't even one night here at all. That isn't partial, but it is non exsistant.

Well, check it out, anyway. Like I said, He died the day before sabbath. Good to talk even if we disasgree without combative spirits. Can't do that with everyone. lol

I don't think there has to be even three partial nights. Like Gill said, the feasts of Israel show the principle.

After sunset death Thursday is the only thing I can make sense of. That may have counted as Friday????

But Friday was not sabbath.

It has to be the day before sabbath. And the day is from sunset to sunset.

Luke 23:53-54 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. (54) And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

The three days and three night is still where I am hanging up.

I don't think Jesus meant for us to think so woodenly about three nights being required. I would go more by what the word said about sabbath drawing on after he died, and Luke 24 and the third day since Jesus died. Along with the feast of firstruits occurring the 16th when Passover was the 14th. That is more substantial.

I'm with you on a Sunday resurrection.
