Boaz, You said that Wednesday night would have been one night. How could that be since the Messiah would have been alive all of Wednesday night?

Boaz, re: "... (Wednesday night and Thursday) would have been one night and one day;..." Two things: What about Wednesday daytime? The Messiah was placed in the tomb during the daytime. Also, He would have been alive during Wednesday night. He didn't die until around 3pm during the daytime...

Boaz, re: " An empty tomb at sunrise Sunday morning is NOT PROOF that he arose that morning" Any particular point for that comment?

Boaz, re: "Then we would have Friday, Friday night, Saturday, Saturday night and Sunday." 　 Actually, it would be Friday day, Saturday night, Saturday day and Sunday night.

Webers_Home, re: According to Matt 28:1, Mark 16:1-2, Luke 24:1, and John 20;1, a number of women came out to the cemetery on the first day of the week." Those verses only say that the tomb was empty when the women arrived. They don't say when it became empty. 　 　 re: "According to Luke...

Webers_Home, re: "The day upon which Christ revived was the one that followed Saturday." 　 If by Saturday you mean the 7th day of the week, only one verse - as it's translated in the KJV - places the resurrection on the first day of the week. And that verse is thought by a number of scholars as...

Boaz, re: "Does not matthew 28 stae he rose on a saturday ?" No. In fact it doesn't mention when the resurrection occurred.

It appears that there are no 6th day of the week crucifixion advocates visiting this site who think that Matthew 12:40 is employing common idiomatic language.

Perhaps someone new looking in will know of examples.

　 iakov, re: "The 12 times repeated words, 'on the third day' render it impossible to take as literal the statement of the 'sign' given to the scribes and Pharisees, that He would be 'three days and three nights in the heart of the earth'..." Not so. The Messiah said that He would be in the...

With the new year upon us, maybe there will be someone new looking in who knows of examples as requested in the OP and clarified in further posts. And again, remember that the purpose of this topic is not to discuss how long the Messiah was in the heart of the earth. As stated, there are other...

Episkopos, re: "The law was given to show sin to the sinner." I wonder if "revealed" might not be a better word than "given"?

Perhaps a further rewording of the OP will make it a bit more clear: Whenever the three days and three nights of Matthew 12:40 is brought up in a "discussion" with some 6th day of the week crucifixion advocates, they frequently assert that it is using common Jewish idiomatic language for...

John 8:32, re: "So, buried Wednesday at/just before sunset. Thursday, Friday and Saturday are complete. Sunday is not, the words are being spoken on Sunday so three days since all these things puts us at Sunday." If the burial took place on the 4th day of the week, then one day since the...

GerhardEbersoehn, re: "Nevertheless you both end on a fourth day Resurrection." 　 Which is in line with Luke 24:21 and Mark 8:31.

Zeke, re: "One must discern when the word 'day' is used, which meaning of that word applies." Your scenario of the events surrounding the crucifixion/resurrection is based on the idea that the '24 hour' calendar day begins at sunrise. And mine is based on the more common idea that it begins at...

Short-timer, re: "If scripture is correct, which it is, obviously if Jesus was in the grave 3 days 'AND' 3 nights, he would arose on the 'Fourth day'..." Which is in line with Matthew 27:63 and Mark 8:31 which say "after three days".

Since it's been awhile, perhaps someone new looking in who thinks that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week, and who thinks that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb, and who tries to get around Matthew 12:40 by saying it is using "commom" Jewish idiomatic language...

A number of sixth day of the week crucifixion/first day of the week resurrection advocates try to explain the three nights of Matthew 12:40 in several different ways. Three of the most popular are: 1. They count the three hours that the sun was darkened as one of the nights. 2. They count the...

Zeke25, re: " Suppose someone provides you with the info you're looking for. What will that do for you? Will it change your doctrine?" No. All things being equal, it would only show that Matthew 12:40 could be using idiomatic language - not that it is using it (i.e.,that the Messiah actually...
