Some attempt to utilize
Matthew 26:2, incorrectly, but notice that they say "after two days" points to (Wednesday, Thursday), and so land upon 'Thursday' [5th [day] of the week] in completion for the Crucifixion/Passover,
but this cannot be, due to the very time table and language of the text itself.
Hosea 6:2
It’s not <some attempting>-- it’s me showing fact-- Scripture-fact! Show, mention who else. You are scared to answer, me, and that’s why you ‘answer’ here with straw stalks which I am going to burn to ashes now with fire from Scripture.
WillieT, just to annoy you, listen to this, listen with your mate ‘ReChoired’ alias ‘Grailhunter’, No one ever in the history of Scripture commentary has noticed, taken cognisance, realised, sensed, marked the two references to “after two days” in Matthew 26:2 and Mark 14:1 are totally separate, different and independent texts of Scripture. EVERY commentator (or whatever) has without exception always, identified or tried to identify them.
But is
Matthew 26:1-2
Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἐτέλεσεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους,
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings,
εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ 2 Οἴδατε ὅτι μετὰ δύο ἡμέρας τὸ πάσχα γίνεται
he said unto his disciples, Ye know that after two days is the passover,
καὶ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται εἰς τὸ σταυρωθῆναι.
and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
“Jesus saying .. the passover to be crucified = sacrificed” = Abib 14,
is it
Mark 14:1,2
Ἦν δὲ τὸ πάσχα καὶ τὰ ἄζυμα μετὰ δύο ἡμέρας.
After two days the passover of unleavened bread (feast days)
καὶ ἐζήτουν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς πῶς αὐτὸν
and the chief priests and the scribes sought how
ἐν δόλῳ κρατήσαντες ἀποκτείνωσιν,
they might take him by craft, and put him to death.
2 ἔλεγον γάρ Μὴ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ, μή ποτε ἔσται θόρυβος τοῦ λαοῦ.
But they said, Not on the feast... lest there be an uproar of the people.
= Matthew 26:
3-5
Τότε συνήχθησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ λαοῦ
Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people,
εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τοῦ ἀρχιερέως τοῦ λεγομένου Καϊάφα,
unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 καὶ συνεβουλεύσαντο ἵνα τὸν Ἰησοῦν δόλῳ
And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty,
κρατήσωσιν καὶ ἀποκτείνωσιν· 5 ἔλεγον δέ Μὴ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ,
and kill him. 5 But they said, Not on the Feast (it’s first day Abib
15)
,
ἵνα μὴ θόρυβος γένηται ἐν τῷ λαῷ.
lest there be an uproar among the people.
= Luke 22:1,2
Ἤγγιζεν δὲ ἡ ἑορτὴ τῶν ἀζύμων ἡ λεγομένη Πάσχα.
...the Feast of unleavened bread (Abib 15) drew nigh which is called the passover.
2 καὶ ἐζήτουν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς τὸ πῶς
And the chief priests and scribes sought how
ἀνέλωσιν αὐτόν· ἐφοβοῦντο γὰρ τὸν λαόν.
they might kill him (two days on); for they feared the people.
… it is NOT! “Jesus saying” is not the priests conniving; Jesus Crucified is not Jesus BURIED! Two days before or to Crucifixion is not two days before or to Burial! Crucifixion and Burial happened on consecutive, different, separate, DIVINE PROPHETIC PREDETERMINED days which “the Christ according to the Scriptures, OUGHT TO have suffered”.
I distance myself from the liar who denies it, so help me God!
