And Mark 16:1?

From the "Textus Receptus"....[And being past the Sabbath Mary the Magdalene and Mary the Mother of James and Salome bought aromatics that having come they might anoint him.] As indicated in my post #386, this is the first Sabbath of Unleavened Bread (Wednesday evening/Thursday daytime) and the women are buying spices as the Sabbath is now over. They would have been prevented from doing so the previous day as all shops would have been closed. Notice the complimenting scripture in Luke 23:56, also from the "Textus Receptus", [And having returned they prepared aromatics and ointments and on the Sabbath remained quiet according to the commandment.] So, they rested on the Sabbath (Wednesday/Thursday), bought and prepared spices (Thursday/Friday) and are now resting again on the 2nd Sabbath (Friday/Saturday).

Now many folks are confused by the next verse in Mark as it says, [And very early on the first day of the week they come to the tomb having risen the sun.] Mark was not an eyewitness to the events but wrote down what he heard Peter say....sometimes not necessarily in strict sequence. In other words the events of Mark 1 and 2 are separated by the 2nd Sabbath. Mark 1 starts out "And being past the Sabbath" and Mark 2 starts out "Very early on the first day of the week". This would be a gross redundancy if the events were happening on the same day.

Jesus was put into the tomb on Wednesday shortly before sunset and remained in the tomb for 72 hours (Matthew 12:40) resurrecting shortly before sunset on the Sabbath (Matthew 28:1). The 36 hour burial/resurrection story handed down by the church is unscriptural as you can now see.
