Can I ask you a quick question GE? Trying to understand your thinking still after all this time.
When Jesus, and the disciples, went into the upper room in the evening to eat the Passover, and later that same evening institute what is known as the 'Lord's supper' with footwashing, what day of the week (according to scripture, not looking for 'wednesday', 'thursday', 'friday', etc, just number of the day of the week 1-7) do you think this was?
Thanks for a simple answer to which a simply reply could have been given had you not compromised the simplicity of your question with unwarrented presuppositions of your own, such as that When Jesus, and the disciples, went into the upper room in the evening to eat <<the Passover>>. With this in mind, here is the simple truth:
When Jesus and his disciples went into the upper room in the evening to eat WHAT JESUS ORDERED (Infinitive and Subjunctive) three of his disciples "TO PREPARE FOR the passover" which would be "KILLED", THAT SELFSAME DAY next daylight 3PM, it was not <<the Passover>> meal they went and prepared. They prepared what Jesus ordered them to prepare. What they ate was what Jesus told them to get ready for eating--for the "meal". Nothing of the Jewish 'seder' or 'passover meal'-- no meat/flesh, for example.
So what they ATE --according to Scripture-- was NEW, was, "The Lord's Supper"--without precedent in every respect.
Now how do we know, or rather deduce, <<what day of the week this was>>? How do we know, not <think>! No 'thinking'--Scripture only!
This was the LAST ORIGINAL PASSOVER OF YAHWEH in every respect except "The Cloud was Christ" and Israel's coming up from the Red Sea was Jesus' Resurrection from the dead "on the third day" of the final "three days thick darkness" of his Suffering and Atonement Made for sin :
"According to the Scriptures the first day Crucified (and killed); and
"according to the Scriptures", "in That Selfsame Night passover EATEN -
next daylight burned with fire", that is "BURIED according to the Scriptures"
"and the third day RAISED" -- like of old Israel on the Sabbath.
Therefore retrospectively without a doubt
"Christ rose from the dead according to the Scriptures the third day"
"ON THE SABBATH" or no Fourth Commandment, for "God thus concerning the Seventh Day had spoken", and "of another day after", NEVER!
And so without a doubt (no <thinking> required)
the second/middle day was
"the Preparation which is the Fore-Sabbath on the sabbath That Day Great-Day-sabbath-of-" passover -- not Sabbath of the week!
And "the first day they killed the passover"
A. "the Preparation of the Passover sunrise 6 AM", "the day before the Feast",
B. "the Lord's Supper"-- "it was night", "in the night the Lord was betrayed".
TWO 'Preparation- days', TWO 'sabbath -Days' : CONSECUTIVELY not co-incidentally.
