Messiah HAD to fulfill BOTH of these, therefore he was put in the grave before sunset, prior to sunday the next day which was the Feast of Unleavened Bread. A defiled body left on the stake would have caused great distruption (Mk 14:1-2), not to mention his death being for naught as all who had believed would have walked away if his body was still on the stake AND not in the tomb come sundown.
Mar 14:1 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. 2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.
The Feast day disruption they are speaking of is Unleavened Bread and the reason why is that the Passover lamb is slain on Passover, hence the reason it is called Passover but the meal is not actually eaten until after sundown on the Day of Unleavened Bread in which none of the Passover Lamb is to remain come sunrise. This is why it is important to study the Bible as a whole, beginning in Genesis so we know what they are talking about when we get to Mt - Rev.
Luke 24
1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning , they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared , and certain others with them.
John 20
1
The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
Mat 28
1
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week,
The translation i have come to trust is the authorized version ( the KJV ) not that i am sure there are no mistakes but not the obvious mistakes or maybe i should say contradictions that i find in the modern versions.
The main reasons i came to trust the KJV is that during the time it was written was a time when it was necessary for the people to know what the Bible really said.
The new versions printed in the 1970s were printed by religious organizations and in my view were just for the purpose of making some one rich, and this includes the new KJV.
No offense meant here but do i take your word or do i take the words of the translators who did the work in the 1600s who were much closer in life style to the authors of the scriptures than what we are now and for that reason alone would have a better understanding.
It is evident that all of the translators believed that Mary came to the tomb on sunday morning before it was yet light
I believe that the seventh day ( Saturday ) is the Sabbath and that it was ordained the Sabbath in genius and can not be changed to sunday or any other day.
I also believe the early Christians kept the sabbath and that is the reason they held Church service on sunday.
The sabbath is to be a day of rest, many people, especially hired preachers works harder on sunday than any day of the week, not to mention working their family.
Not too many years ago they also worked their animals which is also not supposed to happen.
So if they really believe that Sunday is the Christian Sabbath then it is easy to see that they don,t much care what the law of God says that they claim to have the authority to preach.
