Thursday day (passover day/preparation day) Hebrews prepare to leave Egypt & make unleavened bread. Thursday night(beginning of the 15th)the Hebrews are lead out of Egypt - Exodus 12:42. This, Exodus 12:18 and the first part of chapter 13 is the institute the Holy feast of unleavened bread Making the High Sabbath the day after Passover.

Wednesday was actually Nisan 14 - which would move your time line forward and have Christ rise at the eve of Yom Roshee which is Day 1 in Hebrew or Saturday at sunset for us. Christ was crucified on a High Sabbath and rose at the end of the weekly Sabbath. Mary did not find him gone until morning, not becuase he had just risen but because she had not gone out before dawn.

It's important to understand that Christ was using a Jewish idiom that meant "soon" or "shortly," simply a short period of time. It didn't specifically mean 3 days and 3 nights. It's like when we say, "He preached forever, I thought he would never reach a conclusion." We didn't use "forever" really thinking he would preach for all eternity. That's an idiom. How dare we think of abandoning the belief that Christ was crucified on Friday and Resurrected on Sunday. For further study, see pages 87-91 of Michael Licona's book, "Paul Meets Mohammed," published in 2006.

Thank you for your work, and you are probably right. I'm still happy to celebrate his death on the day that the church historically has set aside for remembering His death - Good Friday. Sounds very high church, I know. Our church held a Good Friday service this year which was the first time our church has done this in very very long time and people really appreciated it. I think we should do a better job as Baptists setting aside time to remember these very holy events. These are very helpful things to think through.

I have actually leaned toward a Wednesday crucifixion, but that would mean that Thursday would have had to be the high Sabbath and then the women would have bought and prepared the spices and ointments on Friday after the Thursday Sabbath before bringing them to the tomb on Sunday morning after the regular Saturday Sabbath. If in fact, the high Sabbath was on a Friday that year, it would definitely change my theory. Is it possible that it could have been a Thursday on a different year and that we are off a year in calculating when it occurred? Thank you for your article.

I was simply putting forth my understanding of the chronology for others to view and either accept, reject or study further. The Thursday crucifixion is not a matter of separation or heated debate in my mind. that is what I was trying to communicate by using the word "dispute." Glad I was able to give you a laugh...
