       MY RESPONSE IN REGARD TO THE DAY OF PREPARATION
   DIR By: doug
       Date: March 18, 2026, 11:12 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       What I read from your article is based on a misunderstanding of
       John ***************** [John 19:31 KJV] "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." *****************
       The confusion revolves around the day of preparation here in
       John. They are making Jesus's crucifixion a Friday. Jesus was
       crucified and died at 3pm on Thursday. They broke the legs of
       the two thieves (not Christ's) so they wouldn't be alive on the
       high sabbath day of the first day of the feast of unleavened
       bread, this was not a Friday, it was Thursday. The rest of these
       passages happened on a Friday preparation day before the weekly
       Saturday sabbath. ************** [Mark 15:42 KJV] "And now when
       the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the
       day before the sabbath,"
       [Mark 15:43 KJV] "Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable
       counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and
       went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus."
       ***************** Mark says Joseph asked for Jesus's body on
       Friday, which was the day of preparation. ********************
       [Luke 23:50 KJV] "And, behold, [there was] a man named Joseph, a
       counsellor; [and he was] a good man, and a just:"
       [Luke 23:52 KJV] "This [man] went unto Pilate, and begged the
       body of Jesus."
       [Luke 23:53 KJV] "And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen,
       and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never
       man before was laid."
       [Luke 23:54 KJV] "And that day was the preparation, and the
       sabbath drew on." *************** Luke states Friday is the day
       of preparation. ***************** [Luke 23:56 KJV] "And they
       returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the
       sabbath day according to the commandment." *******************
       This being the day of preparation, which is Friday, makes the
       next day the Saturday sabbath ****************** [Matthew 28:1
       KJV] "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." **************after the Saturday sabbath
       Mary came to the tomb.
       Beyond a doubt, Friday is established by scripture as being the
       day Jesus was laid in the tomb as well as being the day of
       preparation. Jesus was crucified on a Thursday.
