MY RESPONSE IN REGARD TO THE DAY OF PREPARATION
DIR By: doug

---------------------------------------------------------
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.
