Ref: 22 Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem.
Note Luke 13:32 follows 22 after a bit of teaching.
Certainly one would count that as day one, and any truthful person would say that the next day and the next makes three days.
But let's suppose that Jesus had just returned in the evening before the Sabbath which would began at sundown and the Pharisee told him as the sun was about to set, that Herod is out to get him.
Wouldn't he have said something like, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people tomorrow, and the next day, on the third day I will reach my goal.’ This makes a total of three days hence.
Will you truthfully suggest that he would have included the day, the evening of which he spoke it in his message to Herod? The message would then have made absolutely no sense at all. Do that and it will be obvious that you’re after something here besides what the true time line was.
I will, when I get the opportunity, forward you the disk # in which Rood lays out the proper and obviously correct time line for your future discussions.
While you're waiting, read:
Mathew 12:40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
And tell me what part of "the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." you do not understand.
“let’s suppose”
we need not suppose anything, Jesus tells us “today” is day one, “tomorrow” is day two and the following day is the “third day”.
you can’t get around it, this method is confirmed by Acts 10 and Exodus 19, same pattern, the day an event happens is day one.
so if Jesus truly died on wednesday at 3:00pm, He would have had to rise before sundown on Friday to rise “on the third day”
There is no getting around this.
but Luke 24 blows this wednesday crucifixion day right out of the water.
Luke 24:1 takes place on the first day of the week.
Luke 24:13 tells us the two were walking to Emmaus the very same day, the first day of the week.
Luke 24:21 tells us the first day of the week was “ now the third day since this happened”
since what happened? v20 tells us since the crucifixion happened.
so Luke 24 gives us all we need to know EXACTLY what day Jesus was crucified and what day He arose, applying counting days as Jesus spelled out in Luke 13.
going backwards:
first day of week ( firstfruits ) - 3rd day since crucifixion
7th day of week - 2nd day since crucifixion
6th day of week ( friday ) - day of crucifixion
going forward:
6th day of week - crucifixion day, day one
7th day of week - sabbath day, day two
1st day of week, resurrection day ( firstfruuits ) 3rd day
this is what the Bible teaches and this is what the Church has taught and believed for 2,000 years.
i can’t help that rood learned history from dan brown apparently and thinks “constantine” is to blame for this doctrine.
go to Acts 10.
“lets suppose” the day referred to you Acts 10:3 is a Wednesday.
now, assuming Acts 10:3 happened on a wedneday, what day is it in Acts 10:30 when Cornelius says “four days ago” was Acts 10:3.
was Acts 10:30 on a Saturday or Sunday if Acts 10:3 was on a Wednesday?
