I realize your video does not have 1o days, but it simply does not coincide with the Word of God as written and what is known of the feast of unleavened bread!
Prove it. I think it does.
also what is written in John

John 19:31
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
You are incorrect as I mentioned before. John is NOT saying that Saturday was a high holy day.

<if it were> so why ask?
John does NOT <identify that this Sabbath> (which Marks supposes was the weekly Sabbath), <was a High Sabbath>. He identifies it thus:

31 Ἦν γὰρ μεγάλη ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνου
because That Day was a great (day)

τοῦ σαββάτου ἐπεὶ οὖν Παρασκευὴ ἦν,
of the (passover) sabbath, and since Preparation then began,

ἵνα μὴ μείνῃ ἐπὶ τοῦ σταυροῦ τὰ σώματα ἐν τῷ σαββάτῳ,
that not (would) stay on the cross the bodies on the (prospective passover) sabbath,

οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἠρώτησαν τὸν Πειλᾶτον ἵνα κατεαγῶσιν αὐτῶν τὰ σκέλη καὶ ἀρθῶσιν.
the Jews asked Pilate that their legs must be broken and the bodies removed.
Thank you!! I should have looked at that first!

Much love!

Yes he was saying that Saturday was a high Saturday.
No, he wasn't. You are mistaken to think that the word "Sabbath" always refers to the weekly Saturday Sabbath. This is incorrect. The days that bracket the Week of Unleavened Bread are also called "Sabbaths". And John reminds us that these two days are called "High Sabbaths" in order to distinguish them from the regular Sabbath.
There is no other way of understanding this unless you violate known rules of grammar.
My view is perfectly compatible with grammar.
If one does, then any explanation is valid for you have tossed the rules that allow us to understand what is written and spoken out the window!
No sir. You are mistaken and have misconstrued what John said. And you have it so fixed in your mind, you can't see it any other way.
1. Sabbath was always a Saturday
2. High Sabbaths could occur outside of a Sabbath
You are incorrect on two counts.

1. Sabbath was always a Saturday
This is incorrect. Saturday was the weekly Sabbath. There are Sabbath Days other than the one that occurs every Saturday.

2. High Sabbaths could occur outside of a Sabbath
This is incorrect. Since the High Sabbath IS a Sabbath, then no High Sabbath can occur outside of a Sabbath.
YOu say I am incorrect, so show me from grammar and knowledge why I am .
John is talking about the "Shabbat ha-Gadol" -- the Great Sabbath. The Feast of Unleavened Bread lasts for seven days, beginning on the 15th day of Nisan and continuing until the 21st day. Both the 15th and the 21st of Nissan are "Shabbat ha-Gadol." During this time period, the first and the last days are considered Sabbaths, distinct from the weekly Sabbath (Saturday), and they occur on any day of the week. Regardless of the specific day, the same rules apply: rest and keep the day holy.


Here is how the passion week looked when Jesus was crucified.

14th -- Passover -- Day of preparation -- crucifixion
15th -- Thursday -- "Shabbat ha-Gadol"
16th -- Friday day of preparation
17th -- Saturday -- Shabbat -- Weekly Sabbath
18th -- Sunday -- Resurrection Day.

You are GRAVELY mistaken. There's no such thing in the Bible as the first and last days of the Feast of unleavened bread been called Sabbaths. WRONG!

Why do you not simply give the Scriptures that <There are Sabbath Days other than the one that occurs every Saturday>?
BECAUSE THERE ARE NONE.

Jesus rose the fifth day? Ts, ts...

<14th -- Passover -- Day of preparation -- crucifixion> Correct though <Day of preparation> OF THE PASSOVER of course.
Now if that is the case - and it in fact is the case, the day after <Passover -- Day of preparation> will be the Feast day FOR which the <Passover -- Day of preparation> is the <Day of preparation>.

Is the <"Shabbat ha-Gadol"> then the Feast day? But isn't the Feast day what you hold for a holy day? On which according to you NO PURCHASES are supposed to be made? But you say the women needed a day after the crucifixion to buy and prepare spices to balm the body with?

Contextually, was Nisan 14 a Thursday or Friday within the context/convention oof the Jewish calendar in 30 AD?
In context of the OT... the anchor is Christ's Resurrection on the Seventh Day of the week Sabbath;
arrived at from the coming up out of Egypt and the Red Sea 'the third day' of the passover,
which was why the Sabbath became the "Seventh Day" in the Fourth Commandment :

Anchor: 16 Abib "the third day I rise" Confirmed historically Exodus 14:13-30
15 Abib the first day they ate unleavened bread
14 Abib the first day they killed the passover

What you have presented tells me nothing because you have not provided what your colour scheme represents.

If I understand your other information, the day of preparation was the fifth day of the week which would place it on a Thursday and as that was the day that the Passover lamb was killed on, then Christ must have been also crucified on the Thursday and died just after the 9th hour of the day had passed.

On what basis do you contract my claim? Look it up in the Hebrew or Jewish encyclopedias.

Do a little comparison.... Links provided but not all quoted due to space.

This one might blow your mind.... have we been deceived all these centuries.?

The Two Sabbaths of Passover

Let's simply call this one Passover for Dummies. Any emphasis is mine.



1712407503970.pngPrinter-friendly version

It is necessary to examine the following facts in order to understand the relationship between the Jewish Passover and the Christian Easter celebration.
Using the Bible as a timeline, we can know exactly what transpired during the Passover Week leading up to Jesus' death and resurrection. If you want to know the particulars of the week leading up to the crucifixion, please see the scripture citations of the Passover week timeline.

THE JEWISH CALENDAR
The Jewish calendar is tied to the moon and follows the lunar cycles. A Jewish year consists of 12 months, and because it is based on the circling of the moon, a Jewish year has 354 days with 29 or 30 days in each month. Compare this with the Roman calendar we use today that follows solar cycles of 365 days.

A Jewish day begins and ends at 6:00pm but they begin counting the daylight hours from 6:00am. Evidence of this can be found in the four gospels by searching for “third hour,” “sixth hour” and “ninth hour.” A day in the Roman calendar begins and ends at midnight.

Jews who are members of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement have gone to the extreme and the hours of each day have to be calculated. For example, if sunrise is at 5:00am and sunset is at 7:30pm, they will divide the 14 hours and 30 minutes of daylight (870 minutes) by 12 so that an hour that day will be 72.5 minutes long. Thus, if they are going to observe a special ritual at the 2nd hour, it will occur at 8:37am and thirty seconds.

Here is a glimpse of what time was like in the first century when the gospel accounts of Jesus’ death and resurrection were recorded.
DAYTIME
First hour - Dawn to 8:00am
Second hour – 8:00 to 9:00am
Third hour – 9:00 to 10:00am
Fourth hour – 10:00 to 11:00am
Fifth hour – 11:00 to 12:00pm
Sixth hour – 12:00 to 1:00pm
Seventh hour – 1:00 to 2:00pm
Eighth hour – 2:00 to 3:00pm
Ninth hour – 3:00 to 4:00pm
Tenth hour – 4:00 to 5:00pm
Eleventh hour – 5:00 to 6:00pm
Twelfth hour – 6:00 to sunset
NIGHT TIME
First watch - sunset to 9:00pm
Second watch – 9:00pm to midnight
Third watch - midnight to 3:00am
Fourth watch – 3:00am to sunrise
THE JEWISH PASSOVER

Few Christians know that the Jewish Passover is currently a seven day period in Israel and eight days for the Jews who live outside of Israel. At the time of Christ, the Jews had two names for the same festival; it was called the Feast of the Passover or the Feast of the Unleavened Bread.

The first month in the Jewish calendar is Nissan (also spelled Nisan) and occurs during the months of March thru April in the Roman calendar. Nissan is the month in which the Passover is observed.

The 13th day (Tuesday) of Nissan is called the preparation day for the Passover. The Passover meal is eaten after 6:00pm, which means that it is really eaten on the 14th day of Nissan.

From the New Testament we know that Jesus and his disciples ate the Passover meal on a Tuesday night. (Matt.26:17-19; Luke 22:13-20)

The 14th day (Wednesday) of Nissan was called the first day of the Passover and people still worked on this day. This was the day that Jesus was brought to Pilate at 6:00am (Matt.27:1-2) and was crucified the sixth hour (12:00pm).

passover-two-sabbaths-v.jpg
The 15th day (Thursday) of Nissan was the Feast of the Unleavened Bread and also known as the high Sabbath.​
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. (John 19:31)​

This is not to be confused with the regular Sabbath. The high Sabbath was a holy day for the Jews and no work could be done on this day. All roads and bridges leading to Jerusalem had been cleaned the day before from garbage and the corpses of dead animals were removed. Furthermore, all graves had been whitewashed so that the pilgrims coming to Jerusalem would not be defiled. This was the reason the Jewish leadership did not want to have anyone hanging on a cross on the high Sabbath.

The 16th day (Friday) of Nissan was called “The Morrow After” the Sabbath and this was the day of the cutting of barley sheaves.

The 17th day (Saturday) of Nissan in the year Jesus was crucified was the regular Sabbath. Jesus rose from the dead sometime between 6:00pm Saturday night and 6:00am on the first day of the week (Sunday morning).

This timeline is consistent with Jesus’ words that he would be dead for three days and three nights:​
“Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 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.” (Matthew 12:38-40)
Jesus was dead and in the grave at the beginning of the 15th day (Thursday) of Nissan. Using the timeline Jesus provided of three full days and nights, Thursday night was the first complete day, Friday night was the second complete day and Saturday night was the third complete day. If we correctly interpret the timeline provided by the four gospels, it is not possible for Jesus to have been crucified on Friday as commonly thought, but He was crucified and buried on Wednesday. Please refer to the scripture citations of the Passover week timeline for the specifics of that week.

The period from the 17th day to the 20th day of Nissan was called The Lesser Festival.

It is interesting to note that the Christian Easter week in 2015 is observed from March 29th through April 5th, while the Jewish Passover is observed from April 3rd to April 11th.
Which week is correct? It is impossible to know since there is no real conversion rate between a solar year and a lunar year. What is important is that we celebrate the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ!

Christians sometimes react with hostility to information that contradicts what they “know to be true.” It is my hope that you would re-examine your assumptions of truth through the clear lens of a sincere Biblical analysis. It should be the goal of every Christian to debunk the Devil’s lies about our Savior’s death and resurrection. Given the stated facts, it is a blatant lie that Jesus was crucified on a Friday and no Christian should be perpetuating it.

Why do you not simply give the Scriptures that <There are Sabbath Days other than the one that occurs every Saturday>?
BECAUSE THERE ARE NONE.
Check this out.

Take note of the following prescription. Here the regular, weekly sabbath is called "a holy convocation."

Weekly Sabbath
Leviticus 23:3
For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You shall not do any work; it is a sabbath to the Lord in all your dwellings.

a holy convocation = a sabbath of complete rest

Sabbaths that are associated with the Feast of Unleavened bread.
Leviticus 23:7-8
On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall not do any laborious work. But for seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord. On the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall not do any laborious work.’”
A. First day:
you shall have a holy convocation;
you shall not do any laborious work.


B. Seventh Day:
a holy convocation;
you shall not do any laborious work.


According to the passages from Leviticus, Israel was to celebrate a holy convocation once a week and also on the first and last days of Unleavened Bread. In any case, these Holy Convocations were called "Shabbat" or "Sabbath." The Shabbat that occurred on the first and last day of Unleavened Bread is called "Shabbat-hagadol," the High Sabbath.

(Hope this works)
My intent is to insert my chart for your review. Since I am visually oriented, I can follow this chart easier than a verbal description.

The women buy spices to anoint Jesus on Friday before sundown.

But no, that is NOT what it means. John's explanation implies that the Sabbath was NOT a regular Sabbath. If it was a regular Sabbath, no explanation would be necessary.
Of course that Saturday was not a normal Saturday Sabbath, as John said it was a high day! Day one of the feast of unleavened bread!

C'mon you are smarter than that and know simple grammar!

John 19:31
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

They did not want the three on their crosses so they would not be there on Sabbath(Saturday) then in the parentheses: For that particular Sabbath (Saturday) was a high day! Don't take my word for it, bring it to any English teacher, they will tell you what I say is correct.

JOhn is singling out that Saturday for it was a high day!

Yes JOhn was! That is the only proper way to interpret and understand that passage. Any other way alters the rules of grammar.

John didn't mention Saturday. You are wrongly assuming it was a Saturday.
C'mon you are smarter than that and know simple grammar!
It isn't a matter of grammar.
John 19:31
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

It wasn't a Saturday.
JOhn is singling out that Saturday for it was a high day!
I reject your proposal because it has John reiterating the evident.
