There were TWO sabbaths that week. Per the passover requirement, the first day was to be a "high day", meaning a sabbath.

Re: <There were TWO sabbaths that week. Per the passover requirement, the first day was to be a "high day", meaning a sabbath> – <_a_ "high day", meaning _a_ sabbath> —

1. Not ‘a’ "high day", meaning ‘a’, “sabbath”. Literally John 19:31 uses “great day”, not ‘high’ day. “Great day” is used only by John only this once – it is not OT wording. <High day> is not Hebrew or NT Greek usage.

2. Not ‘a’ "high day", meaning ‘a’, “sabbath” as were there several <high days> in the Bible, NT or OT. No, the passover’s “sabbath” was the “day-of-rest” of the passover’s first sheaf wave offering cut and brought to the priest who “waved” it, “prostrating” it to be “stored” or “rested” for the duration of the fifteenth day of the First Month.

3. The passover’s first sheaf wave offering “stored / rested” over the fifteenth day, “on the third day” of the passover was “waved being lifted up with shaking BEFORE THE LORD” SO THAT “on the sixteenth day of the First Month cleaning the sanctuary was FINISHED”. Leviticus 23:11 2Chronicles 20:17.

I give you the Sixth Day manna for two days to be STORED RESTED.” God “gave you – Israel – the Sabbath NO BREAD” though, but He gave New Testament Israel by the Resurrection of Christ THE BREAD OF LIFE with the Sabbath.

There were TWO sabbaths that week. Per the passover requirement, the first day was to be a "high day", meaning a sabbath. That is why they rushed to bury Jesus' body on the preparation day prior to sunset, because at sunset would begin the first day of the feast, and God made that a sabbath per His passover. That had to have been the start of Thursday for that first day of the passover feast. So they could not go to Jesus' tomb to finish His burial.

So, the net is, we need to replace "Good Friday" with "Sure Happy It's Thursday", or "Holy Hump Day" for a Wednesday crucifixion?

When I get home, I'm throwing all my Bibles away and send my Degrees back to Florida ......

Obviously I'm in need of South African philosophy and Theology ......LOL
Hey if that floats your boat.... I have no clue what that South African philosophy and theology means.

But as for me I prefer to keep my bibles and my degrees (three)

Jesus rose on the first day of the week. For them that would have been Sunday.
For God created the world in 6 days, and on the 7th day He rested, that was the sabbath on Saturday.
Sabbath day was the 7th day and a day of rest. Christ could not have risen on the sabbath day, but only on the following day, the first day of the week, stick with scriptures, not traditions, and it is also logical the timing.

Mark 16:9

Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord​

Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.

Christ rose early on that first day of the week, so the days prior His body remained in the grave, until the first day of the week.

Jesus was laid in the tomb on the day before the sabbath, so on the 6th day, Friday.

For context read here,

40 There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome, 41 who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb​

42 Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time. 45 So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46 Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.

3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth.
Also Christ said on the third day He will rise after death. Timewise in todays thinking that forces Christ to rise on the fourth day after 3 days and 3 nights, which to us makes us think on the fourth day, but that is wrong thinking.

The jews did not think of night as we do today. To them a night was anytime the sun was not moving across the sky lighting the earth to create a day. No sun in the sky it is a night. Sun in the sky, it is a day.

Viewed that way, Sunday night begins when it is Sunday and dark so after midnight Saturday night started a Sunday night. And Sunday day begins when the sun arises to light the earth, and it is the third day as we had Friday, Saturday, Sunday with the sun in the sky creating the 3 days. Crucified Friday, rose Sunday morning. Three days, and three nights. just that we don't think the same way today.

The idea that Jesus rose on a Friday is MAN'S TRADITION.

When Jesus said His body would be in the tomb for 3 days and 3 nights, He meant that literally 3 days and 3 nights.

The ONLY way that an accounting of the 3 days and 3 nights can be Biblically determined is by...

1. using the Hebrew calendar reckoning for a day and night, which the day is from sunset to the following sunset.

2. counting back from the 1st day of the week (Sunday) when Jesus rose and appeared.

The ONLY result will be that He was crucified per the Exodus Passover sacrifice requirement, on Nissan 14, at evening, which was a Wednesday. Thus the 1st night began at sunset after He was crucified.
