So when did he celebrate the Passover seder?
Jesus observed his Passover the evening he was betrayed which was the evening that began the 14th. The next morning he was condemned, beaten, and crucified. He was laid in a tomb just as the 15th began at sundown. He was resurrected 72 hours later as Sunday began.
But before they could prepare dinner they were already into Nisan 14:
Mar 14:12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
The Mosaic Passover was the next afternoon, the afternoon of the 14th.
Whenever the three days and three nights of Matthew 12:40 is brought up in a “discussion” with 6th day crucifixion folks, they frequently argue that it is a Jewish idiom for counting any part of a day as a whole day. I wonder if anyone has documentation that shows that a phrase stating a certain number of days, as well as a certain number of nights was ever used in the first century or before when it absolutely didn’t include at least parts of the specified number of days and at least parts of the specified number of nights?
Right Divider,
re: "You're still not understanding the Hebrew idiom whereby any part of a day is a day."
And I point out in post #9 that I agree, but that is not the issue for the purpose of the OP.
re: "You're stuck on the 24 hour thing."
Actually, you're the one that's stuck on the 24 hour thing. I've said nothing about 24 hours.
If that is the only sign you accept, then you are adding yourself to the evil and adulterous generation.But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
"For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." (Matthew 12:39-40)
When Jesus said no sign except..., how many more signs do you think he gave?
Luke 11:29-32 29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. |
If that is the only sign you accept, then you are adding yourself to the evil and adulterous generation.
re: "What is the controversy, though?"
Sixth day crucifixion proponents say that only 2 night times were involved whereas the Messiah said that 3 night times would be (involved).
Jesus said no sign except the sign of Jonah would be given to who?Why are you twisting what I said?
I quoted to you the scripture where Jesus said (not I said) that no sign would be given except the sign of Jonah. You seem to be saying Jesus was mistaken. Why? What are you trying to prove?
