These are horrible translations, not even proper English. You say ‘during’ but the verses don’t even have that.

For those of you who are confused about when Jesus died, it's okay to be uncertain, dont beat yourselves up since the best scholars have also had disputes about it as well.
We have to ask ourselves, if the Lord's Day, the first day of the week, wasn't the day He rose from the dead, why did He first appear to many on that Day?
"Now when Jesus was risen early the FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast out seven devils." Mark 16:9 KJV
He confirmed that His resurrection happened on that Sunday morning with eye-witnesses within minutes.
Another joke?He confirmed that His resurrection happened on that Sunday morning with eye-witnesses within minutes.
There's no need to account for three full days. A preponderance of New
Testament scripture attests that Jesus' crucified dead body was restored to
life during the third day rather than the end of day.
Maybe we should all deny history backed by tens of thousands of Christian theology scholars, drop everything, discard the Lord's Day, start worshipping on the Sabbath and adopt Gerhard the Plumber's dissertation?Another joke?
In Luke 24:1,2, "After-midnight-deepest morning" - 'orthrou batheohs' the angels conversed with the several women who entered the tomb and found Jesus' body was there no longer.
Nevertheless, you, talk about <<His resurrection (which) happened on that Sunday morning with eye-witnesses within minutes>> implying clear enough daylight when Jesus' body was still there and He rose to life.
Must I believe you and your church and the pope, or must I believe God in his Word? Three against one... ?
.
Searching the New Testament for three full days and three full nights is akin
to a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there.

Please, understand that there was turmoil G:4578, among the Guard at the tomb. While the curtain in the Temple was torn from top to bottom because the earth did quake G:4579, and the rocks dis split and the graves were opened. However what the Centurion saw the turmoil and the things that they saw happened, i.e. the earthquake that they felt, they were very fearful and said, "Truly this was the Son of God."
I believe that you are doing seismologists and myself a great disservice, as they would agree with me that you cannot have an earthquake in the water, so the translators said that their was a great tempest in the winds, but the Disciples were not afraid of the winds blowing but they were afraid of the turmoil of the waves coming at the boat from every direction such that the waves were crashing over the boat and filling it with water such that it was in danger of sinking.
Now in Rev. 16:17-21, the Greek word "σεισμὸς" is used to found twice in this passage and translated as "earthquake" which must have lasted at least 40 or so years as these earthquakes heralded both the recognition before God of Babylon once again by the world in 1926 as well as the dividing of Jerusalem into three partitions which were to be controlled by Britain, Jordan and the UN, in 1948 because of the turmoil, i.e. world wars, one and two, and a number of other conflicts. The translation of "σεισμὸς" does not make logical sense if it is translated as "earthquake," but more sense if it is translated as "turmoil."
The historical evidence does not support the use of earthquakes for the Greek word, "σεισμὸς."
Would you mind if I ask a personal question?
Are you perchance on the spectrum?
The reason I ask is because it's been my experience in twenty-four years
active on internet forums that autistic folk are somewhat rigid, and reluctant
to accept explanations unless the explanations are composed in their own
words
Ad Homenim.
Some words are ambiguous, and others can be represented by synonyms;Words have meaning, objective meaning
I do not believe it's fair to label autism a malady. It's a handicap, to be sure,One does not have to have some kind of malady to know that.
In many instances, "gallon" can refer to a container's size as well as theA gallon means a full gallon.
They ordered to have all three who were crucified to speed up the process by having their legs broken, but they found Jesus already dead at 3PM. So Joseph had a few hours to seal the deal. Evening (Sabbath) was approaching.
Sunset today in Jerusalem is at 6:57 PM. So Joseph had 4 hours to bury Him.

Reformation Bible Commentary
Mark 15:42 > day of Preparation. The day before the Sabbath (Friday; John 19:14 note). Food was prepared before sunset, when the Sabbath began. Joseph would have to buy the linen, make arrangements for Jesus’ burial, and ready the tomb (vv. 43–46) in the three hours remaining between Jesus’ death and sunset.
Judge not lest you be judged. Your theology is flawed. Frustration has turned to a mean spirited battle against practically the entire Body of Christ. If you are part of that Body, it is as if you are taking a hammer and smashing every finger, toe and limb to get us all in order, with anger, shouting, flailing insults ... just plain bad theology, with zero discernment and no fruit!Re:- <<Mark 15:42 CJB Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before a Shabbat), as evening approached,
