Thats looking at "three days" as he whold rise after being dead 72+ hours
I would look at "in three days" as
he died on Fri. some time before sunset (day 1 / the Day before the Jewish Sabbath)
then Sat.(day 2 / Jewish Sabbath/ end of thet week)
And rose on Sun.(any time after sunset Sat.) (day 3 / the Day after the Jewish Sabbath/first day of the week)
Sure, feel free to change the timeline anyway you want. It makes no difference.
This is indeed what the great majority of people believe because this is what they have officially been taught for 1700 years. It is not scriptural.
And rose on Sun.(any time after sunset Sat.) (day 3 / the Day after the Jewish Sabbath/first day of the week)
This also, according to scripture, is in error.....but has been taught by the Church as a basis for their Sunday observance. Matthew 28:1 states very exactly in the original Greek, [Now late on Sabbath as it was getting dusk toward first of week came Mary the Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.] In verse 6 the Angel says, [He is not here for he has risen as he said. Come see the place where was lying the Lord.]
These words in the original Greek are from the "Textus Receptus", the received text, and are the only words found in the Bible that specify on which day our Saviour rose from the tomb. As you can see it was "Late on Sabbath". Many Bibles render this passage correctly....some don't. Some because of preconceived bias toward a Sunday resurrection say things like "After the Sabbath", "The day after the Sabbath", "The day of rest was over" or some variation thereof.
No one is able to honestly dispute the fact that there were 2 Sabbath Days during the crucifixion/resurrection time period because the Gospel of John specifies it very clearly, [John 19:31]. The fact that there was a day between these 2 Sabbaths is not generally known....or expounded upon but scripture is very clear here also.
Luke 23:56 tells of the women going home and preparing spices and perfumes and then resting on the Sabbath. Mark 16:1 tells us that the women bought the spices when the Sabbath was over. The Sabbath spoken of in Mark is the First Day of Unleavened Bread, [Leviticus 23:6-7] and the Sabbath spoken of in Luke is the regular weekly Sabbath and also the day of resurrection, [Matthew 28:1]
Yeshua himself denies this - he offers the sign of Jonah: 3 days and 3 nights.
