Matthew 12:40
King James Version (KJV)
40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

There seems to be a disagreement among Christians as to the day and time that Jesus wascucified and resurrected .
Therefore I wish that this thread can help clarify what day of the week that Jesus was risen .

Jesus’ resurrection is one of the greatest proofs that Jesus is exactly who He said He was – the Son of God and the only One through whom eternal life is offered. Therefore it is important that we know what day He was resurrected so as to worship God in Spirit and in truth.

1 Corinthians 15:4
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Therefore I will like to know what are your thoughts as to exactly what day was Jesus crucified and resurrected ?

Thanks

I DONT KNOW HOW TWO POST CAME UP SORRY :unsure:

If my memory serves, the questionable text is a pet peeve of none believers as far as the possibility of deceptive text.

Evening and morning make a day in the Israeli view, but Jesus was on the Cross on Friday and rose on Sunday morning three days and two nights seems to be the fulfillment, but it was actually Friday evening (our Thursday evening) at the garden when He was betrayed into hands of the powers that be in the world. Therefore the fulfillment as He stated, three and three. Consider what just might be the heart of the earth in the Lord God’s view. Wouldn’t it be men? This is the Son of the Almighty, He forfeited Himself in the hands of men, they certainly had no power over that.

A "day and a night" is a Jewish idiom meaning a day, even if it was only part of a day.

Jews also counted a day if it was only part of a day. So if Jesus was in the tomb before sundown on the Friday (as he was) then that was one day, the first day. The next day was the Sabbath, the second day. Then Jesus rose early Sunday morning - part of a day and therefore the third day - three days therefore "three days and three nights".

It may sound odd to our way of counting but it was a different culture.

No, the day as in a 24hr day starts at sundown and ends the next sundown in the Jewish culture just like in the first chapter in Genesis. "And the evening and the morning were the first day."

Which is why there is question on the matter.

Plus your version only covers two nights.

If Jesus was crucified friday then we will have

Therefore:
Jesus was crucified Friday and buried before sundown = 1/2 day
He remaind in the tomb on Saturday = 1 full day
He rose on Sunday morning = 1/2 day

I know when the day starts and ends in Jewish culture. The point is that part of a day was still called a day.

Even in our culture we can talk very loosely. If I start painting a room on Friday afternoon, and carry on all Saturday, then start again on Sunday morning I might say to someone I've been painting this room for three days now.

If you add up the actual hours it would be less that 24 but I wouldn't say I've been painting this room for less than a day.

If I go on a short break holiday leaving Friday afternoon and returning Sunday afternoon, I might say to someone before I go that I'm going away for three days.

Don't get hung up on western literalism.

So, not 24 hours in a day then?

And we now get 14 days in a week?

Which one is the Sabbath?

If Jesus meant what you say, then why didn’t He say three days, only? Jesus the Son of God through whom all things made where made, says what he means, hence three days and three nights. Jesus speaks from His view which is at the Right Hand of God in Heaven. Besides Jesus is aware that in some cases a part of a day is considered a day, so why did He specifically say three days and three night if it wasn’t necessary? The Word of God is fulfilled according to the Word of God, not according to men’s views. So the wisdom is what are the three days and three night, not, He has to mean what we think. He means what He says, or He wouldn’t say it.

Anybody can understand what three of one thing is, and three of another thing is, without confusing them to be the same thing, considering that the two different things have been mentioned as two different things, and three of each.

Jesus was a Jew speaking to Jews using a Jewish idiom. He wasn't an American speaking to Americans using American English.

Where does it say that at, and if you are correct, then how can the earth, have a desire for the death of Christ as the world did? How is it that earth without men who dwell in the earth have at heart of its own will?

As far as what we call Thursday night (the first halve of Friday Jewish time) which is when they came to get Him in the garden, if something is to consume something then there is an entry point to that process. In this case like consumption, it starts at the mouth of it, or door of it, which started that night in the garden.

that is poor reasoning then why is the bible understood all over the world in many languages ?

Were Gentiles there when Jesus spoke ?

Then the message of salvation for the whole world is only for the jews alone :rolleyes:

Christ was already resurrected by the time the women came to the grave. We are told that they appeared 'in the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week. the END of the SABBATH, that is, Saturday evening or late afternoon, and NOT Sunday morning.

Between the ninth and twelfth hours (3:00 - 6:00 p.m.), Christ died (Luke 23:44-46). With Governor Pilate’s permission, Joseph of Arimathaea procured the body, wrapped it in linen (John 19:40) and placed it in the sepulcher (Luke 23:50-53). By the time the burial was complete, the Sabbath “drew on” (vs. 54). Thus, the burial took place on Passover day, shortly before sunseton a Wednesday not Thurday

That Passover was a preparation day, in that it preceded an annual Sabbath. This annual Sabbath (called the First Day of Unleavened Bread) was called a high Sabbath or “high day” (John 19:31) and fell on a Thursday that year. It was on this day that the high priest and the Pharisees came to Pilate to ensure that Christ’s tomb was securely guarded and sealed (Matt. 27:62-66)

Its apparent you’re not listening which is why you don’t understand:
I’ll take one more shoot at it, first the message was to the Jews first then the Gentiles so it is in the terminology of the Jews. As in Jesus was a Jew and all of the scripture except for maybe the book of Job (only because there is some question to whether Job was Jewish amongst the Hebrew scholars) was written by Jews. The Apostle were Jews and the Apostle to the Gentiles was Jewish. So yea, the Gospel was to the Jews only at the time of Jesus walking amongst them.

 
In case you are not aware and it apparent you are not, Sabbath is Saturday any Jew will tell you so. Therefore, Friday during daylight was Jesus Crucified on the Cross. And you ref to Luke demonstrates that before sundown it was necessary to do that which was lawful in those days before the Sabbath would start which would be sundown at the end of daylight Friday. Which when you think about it is why there is question on the matter of how is it that three days and three night was Jesus in the heart of the earth.

Of which I will try to explain again. What is the heart of a kingdom, as in one that has a king? Isn’t it the king? Since it is true that God gave man dominion in the earth over all flesh and living things. In the Lord God’s view, what is the heart of the earth? Considering God knows that the earth of itself is a lifeless object with out the life therein, of which man is given charge. Hence the heart of a kingdom is its king, surly mankind is the heart of the earth.

Jesus didn’t come to save the earth from the earth, He came to save mankind from damnation, which is of man's doing.

1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
4 Yet their voice[b] goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.

Mark 16:1 records what took place on that Friday: “And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint Him.” (Verse 2 jumps to Sunday morning.) The phrase, “and when the Sabbath was past,” refers to the high day that occurred on Thursday. Since the women could not buy spices on the seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday), Friday was the only time they could have done so.

Hebrew is not Aramaic. The ordinary Jews of the time spoke Aramaic & possibly some Greek. Many of the scrolls in the synagogues had Aramaic "targums" at the side because most ordinary Jews didn't speak Hebrew.

It's noticeable that the only gospel to give the 'three days and three nights' is Matthew's. He was writing for a Jewish audience who would have understood the idiom.
Mark and Luke, writing for gentiles, did not give that.

To understand the scriptures you have to understand the culture and the intended audience.

Jesus didn't write anything. He taught his disciples and left them to teach others.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” (Mt 28:19-20)

They taught orally, not by handing out Bibles and saying “read that and work it out”.

Luke 23:37-38
King James Version (KJV)


37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, This Is The King Of The Jews.


When the Romans crucified Jesus, they decided to ridicule Him once more by placing above his head an inscription that stated who He claimed He was. The words of that inscription were written in three different languages, the most common languages in those days: Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, so everybody should understand. Back then, the Hebrews had this point of view: "Why should I care about a Greek inscription?" Latin was used only for the Romans soldiers
The Jews though, read the Hebrew part. For them, the words were:

JESHUA HANOZRI WUMELECH HAIEHUDIM

Jeshua Hanozri = Jesus of Nazareth
Wumelech = King
Haiehudim = of the Jews

Hebrew is not Aramaic. The ordinary Jews of the time spoke Aramaic & possibly some Greek. Many of the scrolls in the synagogues had Aramaic "targums" at the side because most ordinary Jews didn't speak Hebrew.

It's noticeable that the only gospel to give the 'three days and three nights' is Matthew's. He was writing for a Jewish audience who would have understood the idiom.
Mark and Luke, writing for gentiles, did not give that.

To understand the scriptures you have to understand the culture and the intended audience.

Jesus didn't write anything. He taught his disciples and left them to teach others.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” (Mt 28:19-20)

They taught orally, not by handing out Bibles and saying “read that and work it out”.
Then you should only read mark and Luke :D

Its apparent you’re not listening which is why you don’t understand:
I’ll take one more shoot at it, first the message was to the Jews first then the Gentiles so it is in the terminology of the Jews. As in Jesus was a Jew and all of the scripture except for maybe the book of Job (only because there is some question to whether Job was Jewish amongst the Hebrew scholars) was written by Jews. The Apostle were Jews and the Apostle to the Gentiles was Jewish. So yea, the Gospel was to the Jews only at the time of Jesus walking amongst them.

 
In case you are not aware and it apparent you are not, Sabbath is Saturday any Jew will tell you so. Therefore, Friday during daylight was Jesus Crucified on the Cross. And you ref to Luke demonstrates that before sundown it was necessary to do that which was lawful in those days before the Sabbath would start which would be sundown at the end of daylight Friday. Which when you think about it is why there is question on the matter of how is it that three days and three night was Jesus in the heart of the earth.

Of which I will try to explain again. What is the heart of a kingdom, as in one that has a king? Isn’t it the king? Since it is true that God gave man dominion in the earth over all flesh and living things. In the Lord God’s view, what is the heart of the earth? Considering God knows that the earth of itself is a lifeless object with out the life therein, of which man is given charge. Hence the heart of a kingdom is its king, surly mankind is the heart of the earth.

Jesus didn’t come to save the earth from the earth, He came to save mankind from damnation, which is of man's doing.
[SIZE=10pt] After the “Sabbath,” Mary Magdalene and her companions bought spices with which to anoint Christ’s dead body Mark 16:1. However, in lk 23:56 shows that they prepared the spices before the Sabbath. Naturally, they couldn’t have prepared spices before they were even bought! [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]The only explanation that makes sense is that they bought the spices on Friday and prepared them the same day-after the annual Sabbath on Thursday and before the weekly Sabbath on Saturday! Then they rested on the weekly Sabbath-at the end of which Jesus was resurrected. The next morning, Sunday, they came to the tomb before sunrise and found him already gone.[/SIZE]

37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, This Is The King Of The Jews.


When the Romans crucified Jesus, they decided to ridicule Him once more by placing above his head an inscription that stated who He claimed He was. The words of that inscription were written in three different languages, the most common languages in those days: Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, so everybody should understand. Back then, the Hebrews had this point of view: "Why should I care about a Greek inscription?" Latin was used only for the Romans soldiers
The Jews though, read the Hebrew part. For them, the words were:


Language of Jesus
It is generally agreed that Jesus and his disciples primarily spoke Aramaic, the common language of Judea in the first century AD, most likely a Galilean dialect distinguishable from that of Jerusalem. The towns of Nazareth and Capernaum in Galilee, where Jesus spent most of his time, were Aramaic-speaking communities.

Aramaic was the common language of the Eastern Mediterranean during and after the Neo-Assyrian, Neo-Babylonian, and Achaemenid Empires (722–330 BC) and remained a common language of the region in the first century AD. In spite of the increasing importance of Greek, the use of Aramaic was also expanding, and it would eventually be dominant among Jews both in the Holy Land and elsewhere in the Middle East around 200 AD[2] and would remain so until the Arab conquest in the seventh century.

According to Dead Sea Scrolls archaeologist, Yigael Yadin, Aramaic was the spoken language of Jews until Simon Bar Kokhba tried to revive Hebrew and make it as the official language of Jews during the Bar Kokhba revolt (132-135 AD).
