Thank You Daniel. I had always pointed out that it didn’t matter that the discovery of the empty tomb may have happened on Sunday–He was already resurrected. But I recently had cause to look more closely at the resurrection and I became very puzzled indeed. Misunderstanding passover contributed. This website helped me with both understandings. And I see you made this video right on time for me to find. If I’d gone looking too much earlier, it wouldn’t have been here.
But I remained puzzled with the idea of refuting bible contradictions. All the christian apologetics only dealt with the numbers of people and bringing spices etc. and weren’t very satisfying.
WHAT ABOUT THE STONE? How could it be in place in Matthew but already rolled away in the other three if it is all the same account of the exact same events?
Answer: It’s not. at least with regard to the initial approaches to the tomb, they relate slightly different events within the same story.
Matthew comes first.
The two Marys approach the tomb and the stone is in place. This is at the first tinge of light in the sky. There is an earthquake, the stone rolls away, and an angel appears, with a face like lightning. The two gurads present are terrified.
He commands here to go and spread the word that Yehushua has risen, etc. She sees Yeshua. She leaves and meets a disciple who rebukes her as mad.
Now John picks up the story. While Mary mother of James continues to spread the word and being told she is crazy, Mary MAgdalene returns to the tomb, quite distressed. She is looking again.
Now John picks up the story. It is still dark, he notes. Mary comes to the tomb and no-one is there at all, until she turns around. then there are two men. Apparently their faces aren’t so much of note as the angel’s was.
Then Peter comes, having been told by Mary mother of James.
There probably are bits of duplication in some of the details. I doubt Peter was told twice before he came, for instance. But in part, the gospels MUST relate different associated events.
I am sure Matthew comes first and then John.
I THINK Mark follows and Luke’s bit comes last.
Mark picks it up. Now the sun is up and no longer dark. Mary Mag. Meets Mary Mother of James and Salome, who is bringing spices, as they are coming to the tomb. The three return. Notice their claim has changed, they are telling people after being rebuked, that the body of Yeshua has been taken, rather than He has risen.
By now Peter has spread the word and is believed.
Finally Luke relates a greoup too large to account for, so “they” (YLT) arrive at the tomb. One of the guards has left to inform the authorities so they won’t be executed while the other remains on duty at the tomb, with a signifcant change in his “duty.” He is there to tell everyone he too saw the angel.
Not sure I have it nailed down.
I think Mark’s account comes next.
Perhaps they are the two guards, having been convicted by these tremendous events as the centurion at Golgotha was. Perhaps they reson the women will not be believed, we should stick around to witness these events.
My spiritual journey had been on a plateau for few years with no new great leaps of understanding.
I praise Yeshua for you being there, right on time, to help me sort out some of the puzzle.
Isn’t it great, a puzzle hidden in plain sight that only reveals itself to those who seek the truth!
And right then, the woman I love dearly but haven’t talked to in two years called saying she felt compelled to call me but did not know why.
I told her why.
Thank you so much for your good work!
Indeed, now rather than “we do not know that He rose on Sunday, I get to say we know for sure He arose on Sabbath.
oops. My comment got a little out of order too. The discussion of the guards should come with John’s bit and then the out of place second statement that Mark comes next.
MESSIAH did, in fact, rise on the Sabbath, although your interpretation of the gospel verses are incorrect. The women came to the tomb on the first day following the sabbath. (1st day of the week)
DID THE WOMEN ARRIVE AT THE TOMB, ON THE “SABBATH” OR, ON THE “FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK” ?
It appears, in the Greek and Hebrew languages, the word “Sabbath” has been translated as, “Week” or “Sabbath”.
It seams, if the authors are speaking of a particular “day of the week” or “days of the week”, they will use “Sabbath”. (H7676) (G4521)
If the authors are speaking of “a week” or “weeks”, they use the word “shâbûa” (H7620) or “hebdomos” (G1442)
Stay tuned, til the end of this article, to find a more accurate translation.
Attached are NT scriptures that show “sabbath” translated as week.
Afterwards, are multiple texts (both Greek and Hebrew) that bear witness to the above statements.
Luk 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
Luk 18:12 νηστεύω δὶς τοῦ σαββάτου, ἀποδεκατῶ πάντα ὅσα κτῶμαι.
Mat 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first (day) of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
Mat 28:1 ᾿Οψὲ δὲ σαββάτων, τῇ ἐπιφωσκούσῃ εἰς μίαν σαββάτων, ἦλθε Μαρὶα ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ καὶ ἡ ἄλλη Μαρία θεωρῆσαι τὸν τάφον.
Mar 16:2 And very early in the morning the first (day) of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
Mar 16:2 καὶ λίαν πρωῒ τῆς μιᾶς σαββάτων ἔρχονται ἐπὶ τὸ μνημεῖον, ἀνατείλαντος τοῦ ἡλίου.
Mar 16:9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first (day) of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
Mar 16:9 ᾿Αναστὰς δὲ πρωῒ πρώτῃ σαββάτου ἐφάνη πρῶτον Μαρίᾳ τῇ Μαγδαληνῇ, ἀφ᾿ ἧς ἐκβεβλήκει ἑπτὰ δαιμόνια.
Luk 24:1 Now upon the first (day) of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
Luk 24:1 Τῇ δὲ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων ὄρθρου βαθέως ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὸ μνῆμα φέρουσαι ἃ ἡτοίμασαν ἀρώματα, καὶ τινες σὺν αὐταῖς.
Joh 20:1 The first (day) of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
Joh 20:1 Τῇ δὲ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ ἔρχεται πρωι σκοτίας ἔτι οὔσης εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον, καὶ βλέπει τὸν λίθον ἡρμένον ἐκ τοῦ μνημείου.
Joh 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
Joh 20:19 Οὔσης οὖν ὀψίας τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τῇ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων, καὶ τῶν θυρῶν κεκλεισμένων ὅπου ἦσαν οἱ μαθηταὶ συνηγμένοι διὰ τὸν φόβον τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων, ἦλθεν ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς καὶ ἔστη εἰς τὸ μέσον, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· εἰρήνη ὑμῖν.
Act 20:7 And upon the first (day) of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
Act 20:7 ᾿Εν δὲ τῇ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων συνηγμένων τῶν μαθητῶν κλάσαι ἄρτον, ὁ Παῦλος διελέγετο αὐτοῖς, μέλλων ἐξιέναι τῇ ἐπαύριον, παρέτεινέ τε τὸν λόγον μέχρι μεσονυκτίου.
1Co 16:2 Upon the first (day) of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
1Co 16:2 κατὰ μίαν σαββάτων ἕκαστος ὑμῶν παρ᾿ ἑαυτῷ τιθέτω θησαυρίζων ὅ τι ἐὰν εὐοδῶται, ἵνα μὴ ὅταν ἔλθω τότε λογεῖαι γίνωνται.

Following are Greek and Hebrew writings, that show the word “sabbath” being translated as “week”. I have included, the English with the original Hebrew or Greek texts, from the quoted sources.
Didache: Chapter 8:1 BUT let not your fasts be arranged 1in common with the hypocrites; for 2they fast on the second day of the week and on the fifth; but do ye fast on the fourth, and the preparation day.

Panarion of Epiphanius of Salamis: Vol 1: Against Pharisees 1:5 They fasted twice a week, on the second and fifth days.15 They paid the tithe, gave the firstfruits—those of the thirtieth and those of the fiftieth days—and rendered the sacrifices and prayers without fail.
Ενηστευον δε δις του σαββατου,δευτεραν. και πεμπτην, απεδεκατουν δε την δεκατωσιν. Τας απαοχας εδιδουν, τριακονταδας τε και πεντακονταδας, τας τε θυσιας ασφαλεστατα και τας ευχας απετιννυον.

Panarion of Epiphanius of Salamis: Vol 1: ANACEPHALAEOSIS I
15,1 15. Pharisees, meaning “persons set apart,” whose lives were most exemplary and who were, if you please, more highly regarded than the others. They believed in the resurrection of the dead as the Scribes did, and agreed as to the existence of angels and the Holy Spirit. And they had a superior way of life: continence for a time, and celibacy; fasting twice a week; and cleansings of vessels, platters and goblets, (as was the case with the Scribes);
Φαρισαιοι ερμηνευομενοι Αφωρισμενοι, οι το ακροτατον βιουντες, και δηθεν των άλλων δοκιμωτεροι παρ οις και νεκρων αναστασις, ως και παρά τοις Γραμματευσι, και η περι αγγελων και πνευματος αγιου, οτι εστι, συγκαταθεσις, πολιτεια τέλος διαφορος, εγκρατεια εως χρονου, και παρθενια, νηστεια δε δια του σαββατου,ξεστων καθαρισμοί, και πινακων και ποτηριων, ως και οι Γραμματεις,

The Mishnah, bears witness to the same two days (twice) in the week (2nd and 5th).
Mishnah: Taanit 2:9 They do not decree upon the community a fast to begin on a Thursday in order not to cause a rise in the market prices. Rather the first three fasts are held [in this order], Monday, Thursday, and Monday; the second three, Thursday, Monday, and Thursday. Rabbi Yose says: just as the first three [fasts] should not begin on a Thursday so too neither the second [three] nor the last [seven].

Dead Sea Scrolls: 4Q252: Col. i 1 [Gen 7:10 – 8:13 In] the year four hundred and eighty of Noah’s life, Noah reached the end of them. And God 2 said: «My spirit will not reside in man for ever. Their days shall be fixed at one hundred and twenty 3 years until the end of the waters of the flood». And the waters of the flood burst over the earth. Blank In the year six hundred 4 of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the first (day) of the week, on its seventeenth (day), on that day 5 all the springs of the great abyss were split and the sluices of the sky opened and rain fell upon 6 the earth forty days and forty nights, until the twenty-sixth day of the third 7 month, the fifth day of the week. One hundred and fifty days did the wate[rs] hold sway over the [ea]rth, 8 until the fourteenth day in the seventh month, the ➡️third (day) of the week. ⬅️At the end of 9 one hundred and fifty days, the waters came down (during) two days, the fourth day and the fifth day, and the 10 sixth day, the ark rested in the mountains of Hurarat, i[t was] the seventeenth [da]y of the seventh month. 11 And the waters continu[ed] diminishing until the [te]nth month, on its first (day), the fourth day 12 of the week, the peaks of the mountains began to be visible. And at the end of forty days, when the peaks of the mountain[s] had become visible, 13 Noah [op]ened the window of the ark the ⭕️first day of the week, ⭕️which is the tenth day 14 of the el[eventh] month.

A more accurate translation by Helen R Jacobus (The University of Manchester, Religions and Theology Department, Faculty Member. Studies Calendars, astronomy and astrology in antiquity, Ancient Near East basis of biblical laws, and Ancient Hebrew coins.)
THE (x) DAY/DAYS FOLLOWING (after) THE SABBATH.
In our English understanding this would be the same as “(x) day of the week”.
“The first day following the Sabbath”, would be the same as “The first day of the week”.
“The fourth day following the Sabbath”, would be the same as “The fourth day of the week”.
Etc.etc.etc.
Thanks for the replies Butch, this will take some time to work through as you’ve packed quite a bit up there. Your first:
MESSIAH did, in fact, rise on the Sabbath, although your interpretation of the gospel verses are incorrect. The women came to the tomb on the first day following the sabbath. (1st day of the week)
DID THE WOMEN ARRIVE AT THE TOMB, ON THE “SABBATH” OR, ON THE “FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK” ?
Answer:
The Hebrew day begins at sunrise until the next sunrise Gen 1:5, AND with either type of Sabbath, from sunset to sunset:
Kindly review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoUzGRRVSGM
The three days and three nights incorporated both a HIGH Sabbath and a weekly Sabbath that year as reflected in the account..
The High Sabbath of 14 Aviv/Nisan began Wednesday sunset until Thursday sunset. With the crucifixion on the 14 Aviv/Nisan
The Friday would have been the day they would have ‘purchased’ spices and aromatic herbs to anoint the body of Yeshua. The Friday as we know it, would have been 16 Aviv, on a sunrise to sunrise basis.
They went to the tomb, while it was still dark. So your statement is correct, following the sabbath, but this was following the High Sabbath of pesach. They would not have been able to buy on 15 Aviv. Illustration always helps.
So Ὀψὲ δὲ σαββάτων, τῇ ἐπιφωσκούσῃ εἰς μίαν σαββάτων – is citing Leviticus 23:15.
Later of the Sabbaths, as dawned/lighted into the First of the Sabbaths – two sabbaths, we are directed to the ‘later’, which will be the first of the seven sabbaths.
The traditional and unscriptural understanding of Gen 1:5 cannot fit the temple services or the resurrection template as they are intrinsically twinned.
Let’s see how far we get, many trip up on this below:
Luk 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
Luk 18:12 νηστεύω δὶς τοῦ σαββάτου, ἀποδεκατῶ πάντα ὅσα κτῶμαι.

Amen, anyone who can read Greek should agree, it says SABBATHS twice, not just once. And even if you can just see an interlinear, it is the SAME word. So, the word “week” is NOT in the Greek and was changed on the second usage by many translations due to theological bias.
Dear Dan enjoy reading your books.Have a question if the 15th of Aviv is equal to a 7th day Sabbath and start the count on the 16th you say you start the first of the Sabbath at the first 7th day but now on the 21st of u leavened bread this Sabbath doesn’t count in the count of counting 7 sabbaths,how is the 15th equal to a Sabbath but the 21st doesn’t count and thrown in the garbage pail also show me in scripture where it says we are to count the 50 days after the 16 of Aviv I can’t find it. Thank you.
Will reply shortly . . can I email you as the answer is quite exhaustive
Please email me thanks for response
OK, will do, thanks for your patience. .
