Correct. So the resurrection could have taken place on Sat. Funnny, the Greek supports that idea as well. The English phase "the first day of the week" is not found anywhere in the New Testament. It is always "the first of Sabbaths" - the translators seem to be confused by a phrase used be Jews for the past 3500 years. It pertains to the feast of Shavout, not a day of the week.

Yes. The resurrection could have taken place on a Saturday night. But don't miss the key element here.

Worship is celebration. And the celebration of Jesus' resurrection originally took place on a Sunday -- the day of discovery and the revelation of the Resurrected One. Jesus Himself marks the new beginning, just as the first day of a new week marks the new beginning.
