Skeptics use this alleged contradiction all the time and it is a really bad objection based on cherry-picking.

Good job!
Hey Mike, I hope you are well. Fancy an argument with a very polite Muslim? I am having a discussion on the thread starting with
JaredMithrandir
(1 week ago). The fellow is going by the name "Nuri Gusbi
". I know that you are very busy, but I thought you might like to wade in a little with your usual gentleness and respect. I have just asked him to give his best case against the Gospel's interpretation of the death and resurrection of Jesus. Shalom brother!
IP is in error here and if your "good job" means you agree then you are in error as well. I hope you are not passing that error onto those who watch your work.
@@TheScriptureTruth Could you explain why he is in error? No point saying that IP is in error and then not showing why.
@Pedro Reynaldo Paes Leme I agree.
Just more bullshit to explain away more and more rubbish.
Ever since I started following IP, my faith only grows stronger.. Thanks for your good work..
this whole video is an Ad Hoc fallacy
@danthumu2211 I would caution you in taking IP videos as gospel. A source of arguments for and against various topics yes, but by no means definitive.
Yeah lets use "forced interpretation" and pretend we solved the problem scholars can't agree on. Great job IP, you're truly a great philosopher.

Amen. Saved from severe depression and sucide. Now I am a conqueror of this world, because of He who lives in me.
Where in the Bible does Jesus say worship me? The Red letter bible makes it easy for you.. He never said such a thing and that’s because he was a Jew (they believe in one God).
Matthew 12:39-40
He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
If his sign is like Jonah he did not die at all during the “crucifixion” just like Jonah didn’t die in the belly of the whale. He even explains in the Bible that you only die once then face judgement. Is Jesus lying or is the church lying?
MySkinIsMyCage if you want the truth brother look into the Quran. So many scientific facts not known to man at the time such as the Big Bang theory.
21:30 Quran
And have not the ones who disbelieved seen that the heavens and the earth were an integrated (mass), then We unseamed them, and of water We have made every living thing? Would they then not believe?
This life is a test brother with the best reward(paradise) the Christians today are not in line with Jesus’s teachings at all.
@MySkinIsMyCage Well. I believe because I had cardiac arrest a while back. I stopped breathing and my body began shutting down, I fell on the ground in my hallway and I began seeing a white tunnel open up in front of me. I was leaving my body. My soul felt like it was leaving my body. I wasn't extremely religious at the time but while I was looking at this tunnel, I began seeing visions of the throne of God. I felt an innate sense within me that I have never known before, it felt hard wired into me, it was the sense of being summoned to judgment. Long story short I got sent back down to my body, and I started breathing, and the tunnel faded... Eventually I regained my strength and stood up to my feet. Curious to what I had just seen, I walked over to my dresser and picked up a Bible. I opened it up and the very first thing I saw and read changed my life. The very first thing I had read in the bible was this: "You will be raised back to life, for you have a great deed to complete in the name of the Lord." -- I was raised back to life alright. And all the sudden, I didn't feel alone in my room. I felt the Holy Spirit... i began turning the pages in the bible, and everything I had seen was popping up in the text. God was speaking to me... Seek Jesus Christ with all of your soul, and He will speak to you, as He has to me. I know He will. 💎❤ Learn His TRUE HOLY commandments. 🙏📯
@EatingMyWingsToMakeMeTame I think ypu forgot who Jesus Christ is... i mean... God created... so God bore... Its incredibly short sighted to not understand that God has more planned in eternity, and that this life is really short. God went through the worst death imaginable... And he has so much planned for Eternity. Why Hate a God you dont understand or even know? If only you could see his reasons. Youd be like "it has to be this way.. oh." He is GOD ALMIGHTY. Your a fallible mortal!
My brother, this explanation of this supposed bible contradiction was Absolutely superb! May the triune God continue to use you For his glory and for edification of the saints
Παρασκεύη still means Friday in Modern Greek, as well as [literally] Preparation.
Yet another wonderful and illuminating presentation.Thank you. May the good God continue to bless you.
I remember James White talking about this when Bart Ehrman was on Sam Harris’ podcast. Ehrman said this was the biggest contradiction of the Gospel if not the Bible. I really like how you broke this down in about a quarter of the time White took, thanks!
Thank you
@@InspiringPhilosophy no problem. Also, I’m surprised more don’t respond to the Tamid sacrifice on Passover Friday that shows why Jesus is the Passover Lamb.
One of the keys to unraveling the texts is understanding that Passover day was also called ‘preparation day’ because the first day of Unleavened Bread, which started at sundown on Passover, was a high sabbath so there were two sabbaths that week. And this means that Passover was on a Wed, High Sabbath on Thur, buying and preparing spices on Fri, weekly sabbath on Sat, then resurrection on Sunday. And that means the Crucifixion happened on a Wednesday Passover, 30 AD, which also makes sense because Roman armies sealed off Jerusalem on Passover 40 years later.
They had to get Jesus into the tomb quickly because a high sabbath started at sunset not a weekly sabbath.
"Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away."
John 19:31
After the Thur. high sabbath was over, they bought and prepared spices.
"When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could go and anoint Jesus' body."
Mark 16:1
After this work, they rested on the Sat. weekly sabbath.
"Then they returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment."
Luke 23:56
After the weekly sabbath was over, they went to the tomb on Resurrection Sunday.
"Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb."
Matthew 28:1
This [Wednesday Crucifixion] does NOT square with Sunday when the men were on the Road to Emmaus Speaking with Jesus who said: "And Besides "TODAY" is the THIRD [3rd] Day "SINCE" these things happened [meaning the Trial and the Crucifixion]. In this Wednesday Crucifixion argument that "Road to Emmaus" conversation with the Risen Jesus "Later" that SAME DAY of HIS Resurrection [Sunday], would have been the
FOURTH 4th Day "SINCE these things happened"---NOT the THIRD [3rd]
WED = Trial and Crucified
WED NIGHT = Night #1 [HIGH SABBATH]
THURS DAY = DAY #1 [HIGH SABBATH]
THURS NIGHT = NIGHT #2
FRIDAY DAY = DAY #2 [Women Buy and prepare spices]
FRIDAY NIGHT = NIGHT #3 [Weekly Sabbath]
SATURDAY DAY = DAY #3 [Weekly Sabbath]
HE MUST RISE HERE!!!..AFTER DUSK and NIGHT=DARKNESS Follows Him
SATURDAY NIGHT = WHERE IS HE ALL NIGHT #4?
SUNDAY DAY = DAY #4 [ROAD to EMMAUS]
***SEE THE PROBLEM?
In people's EAGERNESS to refute a Friday Crucifixion they run HEAD LONG into yet ANOTHER SCRIPTURAL PROBLEM. And, as with others who think they have found Truth [e,g a Friday Crucifixion TRADITION], their PRIDE-EGO Abomination [SIN #1] always LOCKS them into the Deception, and they MUST IGNORE the Problems
The Burial Spice Preparation of the body of Jesus was ALREADY taken care of by Nicodemus [75 lbs] the DAY OF taking Him down from the cross and the women followed to see where the MEN would lay him.
They all went home to REST on the HIGH DAY Sabbath.
When the HIGH DAY Sabbath had ended [the Sun had gone down over the horizon], there was STILL Twilight hours LEFT. This gave the women time to take advantage of the Tradition of allowing purchases "during Twilight" BETWEEN the 2 Sabbaths, ONLY on years were the HIGH DAY Sabbath AND Seventh Day Sabbath came JOINED BACK-TO-BACK, "if" a DEATH had occurred, and the anointing ritual could not wait another day for the 2nd Sabbath to be over. Jesus was ALREADY Dead and "Prepared with Myrr [standard prep] for Burial and BURIED the day OF the Crucifixion by the Men. But the women want to "Ritually Anoint". the body of their Master but did not have time for "buying and preparing" the Spices on Crucifixion Day Burial. SO they had to simply SEE [note] WHERE the Men had layer him so they could return "later" AFTER the HIGH SABBATH. To make sure they got to [Buried] Jesus BEFORE the Decomposition, they went ahead and took advantage of the Tradition of a "Between the Sabbaths" Twilight "Purchase" of the Spices, OR "had purchased" them already BEFORE the crucifixion and simply needed to "prepare" them "during Twilight Between the 2 Sabbaths so that as EARLY as they possibly could [to be able to see] AFTER BOTH Sabbaths, they would be READY to head out for the tomb to BE THERE when the Sun rose, so they started out while it was still dark, The "crack" of Twighlight-Dawn [as they were yet in route], the Earthquake occurred [The Moment of the Resurrection -ALSO Ignored in the Wednesday Crucifixion model]. Once they could continue to walk after the earth stopped shaking, they, now, HURRIED. to the tomb, but by the time they got there the sun was "Rising" [JESUS had ALREADY Risen, to be the FIRST LIGHT out of the Darkness, At the CRACK of DAWN]. First Light, AND on Sunday, First Fruits!
THUS, the crucifixion would have been a *THURSDAY* and the Last Super a Roman-Time "Wednesday Night" When JESUS "Fell on His Face" as if "Cut Down" in Getsemani to fulfill the Prophesy. That Evening at Sundown [Wednesday] had BEGUN the PASSOVER [Day of Preparation--SLAYING of THE LAMB which "is" The Passover]. The PASSOVER Meal to be eaten the NEXT DAY [THURSDAY] at Evening [with that slain Lamb] on the Sabbath HIGH DAY.
Twighlight BETWEEN the 2 Sabbaths would have been AT LEAST 25-30 minutes [Civil Twighlight length] up to 2 hours before "Stars" of Darkness [Astronomical Twighlight length]. If the Tradition of the Elders was that in case of 2 Back-to-Back Sabbaths came during Passover, AND a DEATH had occurred, such that the "body" had to be ritually anointed with spices, the merchants could sale them to the family as it was something that could not wait 2 consecutive days without it being done, since the body of that loved one could NOT be BURIED during EITHER of those Sabbaths, the Spices was a necessity. Thus the 1st High Day Sabbath would END at DUSK [at the Setting of the Sun, BUT the Seventh Day "Evening/Morning" would NOT begin until "Dark" [Evening]. The Twighlight in between the Spices could be sold and/or prepared to the grieving party. The mourners [The Women] of JESUS could take advantage of that "Twighlight between the Sabbaths" Tradition.
THURSDAY is the DAY I Believe because it satisfies ALL the SCRIPTURE Information WITHOUT Ignoring ANY to maintain a favored END RESULT.
😇🔥😇
Jesus said 3 days AND 3 nights. 72 hours only works with a Wednesday crucifixion. See Jonah and Genisis 1. You are right.
There is only ever one Sabbath per week. There's no such thing as "high sabbaths" except that sometimes the Sabbath coincided with a high festival.
All Gospels agree that Jesus was crucified on a Friday - and not in the evening but between morning and afternoon.
@str.77 , do you believe that God only made the 7th day of each week a sabbath day, so when a feast fell on a weekday, that wasn't a sabbath too?
@@timothyjay5565and that's the problem right right there,there's nothing in Jesus statement that he meant it to be *literally...* 3 days and 3 nights being dead what is meant here is parts of 3 days and 3 nights which he imployed to be just an *IDIOM*
Great video as always! Can’t wait for our podcast on Wednesday. 😃
0:39 - No, it doesn't mean that. It means that for John, Jesus died on Friday at Aviv 14 because he was the Passover lamb, while for the Synoptics, Jesus died on Friday at Aviv 15 because he represents the Freedom of his people [from the Egypt].
3:43 - Read Num. 9 and you will see that specifically for the Passover, the defilement (and pretty much everything else for that "moed") goes from sunrise to sunrise (Ex.12). Also if you confront Ex.12 vs. Deut.16 you will notice the Priestly writer from Ex.12 starts the day at sunrise while the Deuteronomistic starts the day at the sunset.
5:02 - Here you are just messing with the holy scripture, by telling that what the writer told was not actually what he meant. The "Day of Preparation" is the preparation for the Sabbath (you prepare the things for the Sabbath on Friday, there's no other way even if this goes with odds with your spoiling food argument). But John says it was the day of preparation of the Passover. You prepare the Passover by picking up the Passover lamb to sacrifice it at "ereb" in order to eat it after the sunset at night.
Finally, there's a thing this video missed:
If John's Saturday (weekly Sabbath) didn't match Aviv 15 (a Sabbath according to Lev.23:7 and Num.28:17-18) then why did John (and not the Synoptics) specifically mentions that Sabbath would be a High Sabbath?
Clearly going out to buy provisions 24 hours before the meal was plausible, the text says as much.
John’s gospel is the only place where “lamb of God” is used to refer to Jesus. It seems pretty clear that the crucifixion on the day of preparation for the Passover meal is the more consistent reading of John. Jesus was John’s Passover lamb - that’s his theological narrative. Your attempt to harmonize this actually robs the scripture of its meaning.
John 19:14
“(Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover, about noon). PILATE said to the Jewish leaders, “Look, here is your king!”
Why did you leave the rest of the verse out? The idea of John using “day of preparation” to refer to the previous Friday doesn’t make contextual sense. He’s describing the current day.
Thank you!
actuary 1776. It seems you just ignored the fact that the synoptic gospels use the expression "Day of Preparation" to mean for the Sabbath and John makes the same point that the next day was the Sabbath. It was the day of preparation *of* the Passover, means day of preparation of the Passover week for the Sabbath.
Quote:Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible. _"but it seems best of all to understand it only of the preparation for the sabbath, which, because it was in the passover week, is called the passover preparation day: and it may be observed, that it is sometimes only called "the day of the preparation", and "the preparation", Matthew 27:62 and sometimes the "Jews' preparation day", John __19:42__ and it is explained by the Evangelist Mark __15:42__. "It was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath"; on which they both prepared themselves for the sabbath, and food to eat on that day; and this being the time of the passover likewise, the preparation was the greater: and therefore to distinguish this preparation day for the sabbath, from others, it is called the passover preparation; _*_nor have I observed that any other day is called the preparation_*_ but that before the sabbath:"_ biblehub.com/commentaries/gill/john/19.htm
It's simply specious to say that John has a theological interest the synoptics don't as at the Passover meal in the synoptics Jesus plainly says it represents his broken body, and shed blood for the remission of sins, and is the New Covenant.
Ken Mc Cracken So you’re arguing “day of preparation of the Passover” refers to the weekly sabbath here? And thus Jesus is in Pilates court on Friday, about noon?
@@Actuary1776 Yes John also says that it was the Day of Preparation in agreement with the synoptics in ch 19 verses 31 and 42 and gives the same reason that the next day was the Sabbath.
As far as the times go it's clear he was brought to Pilate early in the morning. Various events took place such as Pilate sending him to Herod which John omits in his gospel, and then he's sent back. So yes it was the Friday/Preparation Day for the Sabbath which began at sundown that evening. And John's expression "Day of Preparation of the Passover" means specifically of the Sabbath of the Passover week.
Ken Mc Cracken I was just reading a Jewish Christians blog or web page and he’s claiming the last supper wasn’t the Seder meal. That the “last supper” was the last supper before the Seder meal, so he’s arguing a Thursday crucifixion. I’ve seen similar arguments by other Jewish Christians. So I’m still not convinced John wasn’t making a theological point, many Christian scholars even accept it at. Nonetheless, it is just one example among many that the Bible is the product of mankind, not God.
Two areas of discussion come to mind with this:
1) Theories that are intended to resolve supposed Bible contradictions seem to imply a basic assumption that sometimes biblical text means exactly what it says on the surface but at other times it doesn’t and requires sophisticated interpretation. Therefore, when constructing this interpretation, how did you decide that it’s the passage in John that needs to be reconciled to the Synoptics and not the other way around? Why isn’t the interpretation for the Synoptics to be reconciled to John? Because it’s 3 to 1 in favor of the Synoptics and it’s just easier to match up John to them rather than reinterpreting Matthew, Mark and Luke to match John? That seems completely arbitrary to me. Furthermore, if the Bible overall requires such sophisticated interpretation in various places (and not in others) how can we even begin to know how and where that is?
2) Concerning Bible inerrancy, skeptics often chastise the Bible for the round-about way it communicates its messages, for example this video. “Why would god dictate such confusing passages?” skeptics would say. So, if the Bible is perfect and inerrant, then why don’t we, in modern society, communicate our messages modeled after god’s methods?
For example, let’s say there is a mass shooting and 10 people are killed. Now let’s say that 4 of the 10 people were somehow more prominent than the other 6, maybe they were public figures or something. The news networks show up and begin their reporting. Then, using the Bible as a model, NBC reports that 4 people were killed, ABC reports that 6 people were killed, CBS says 10, and FOX says 8. According to the various reconciliations that are offered for how many people were present at the empty tomb, there would be no contradiction among the News Network’s reports. Furthermore, it should be considered extraordinarily insightful and perfect reporting inspired by god’s very own methods.
How does this make sense?
This is a great comment. Might have to use this analogy when talking to people!
"إن يتبعون الا الظن و إن الظن لا يغني عن الحق شيئا"
Suppose the New Testament is just another set of texts from ancient history. It still has four reports of people seeing Jesus rise from the dead, who were willing to be persecuted for saying they did. You're not going to die for something you only pretend to have seen. So just believe in the resurrection, for a start.
Except that is was a double Passover, meaning He died on Thursday. Which makes more sense
Junelle Salmon I was thinking this same thing
Double sabbath you mean?
That's correct, There's the Sabbath before The Passover Then there's the Sabbath the day of that week which would be Hagadol Shabbat, this is why The Pharisees wanted Yashua taken down BEFORE the Sabbath began, which would have been Wednesday The Passover starts on the 14th...
If his sign was like Jonah then why would he die anywhere in the process of crucifixion? Is Jesus(pbuh) lying or is the church lying? Is Gods word really supposed to be confusing? Only if you look at many different explanations from different people not born during Jesus’s time.
Mark 12:29
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Does 1=3? Only in church, he was a Jew and just like the Muslims they worshipped one God(allah,illah). Follow Jesus not the Bible if you wish to succeed this test called life.
@@nuri300 the sign of Jonah IS to die for three days. Jonah went under water, that is the symbol of death!
Very good. But not quite...
John calls the day of preparation one that is before a "great sabbath" or "high sabbath." (John 19:31). Further, when the first day of the week is referenced at John 20:1 "sabbaths" is plural! That means that the first day of the week followed a double-sabbath weekend!!
Don't forget there were two high-sabbaths of passover week; the 1st and the 7th days. So when John says it was "preparation for passover" he is specifically referring to the preparation day prior to one of these high-sabbaths of passover. This can only refer to two dates: Nisan 14th prior to the 15th, or Nisan 20th prior to the 21st. Since Jesus ate the traditional passover and thus was not arrested until the 15th, which is always a sabbath day, there is only one other day left to refer to "preparation for passover," which is the 20th. This, in turn, is followed by a double-sabbath weekend. If Jesus died on Thursday, he would fulfill being in the grave for THREE NIGHTS per Matthew 12;40 (Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday night.)
But there's another nuance. John 19:14 does not say Jesus' trial was at noon on "preparation for passover" but on "BUT preparation for passover." "But preparation" is a reference to just before preparation for passover. So John 19:14 is actually saying: "It was the afternoon before preparation for passover. The hour was the sixth." Now that makes sense because we know that at noon it gets dark for three hours just before Jesus' death. Jesus is impaled at the third hour. The first third hour after his trial at noon would be 9 p.m. That was the normal time for executions, not 9 a.m. in the morning. That being the case, Jesus' trial would have to be one day before his death. So two days are involved. If John 19:14 is indicating Jesus' trial was at noon "but preparation before the passover sabbath" that would mean his trial was on Wednesday, Nisan 19th and his death was on Thursday, Nisan 20th.
So in a quick review, Jesus sent out his disciples the day the lambs were killed (Luke 22:7). The lambs were killed starting at 3 p.m. at the temple. This was Nisan 14th, the day of preparation for the high-sabbath of the 1st day of unleavened bread. In 33 CE, this was a Friday afternoon. At sundown the sabbath day of the 1st day of unleavened bread began and after midnight it became the 15th. Thus Jesus was arrested on the 15th.
At sunrise he was taken to the Sanhedrin. At "but early" (John 18:28) he was taken to pilate. "But early" is a reference to just before the early evening watch. There were three evening watches, early, mid and late. The early evening watch began at noon to 3 p.m. So this was just before noon that Jesus was first taken to Pilate. Pilate saw him for a while and that afternoon sent him to Herod, who was not expecting him. But that week they released a political prisoner, who was related 2 days before the last day of the festival. Thus Herod had Sunday, Monday and Tuesday to interrogate Jesus and returned him that Wednesday morning to Pilate, at which time they became friends. Then at the normal time Pilate dealt with the public, he a Jesus' trial at noon. Later that evening Jesus was impaled at 9 p.m. The next morning some wanted a sign above Jesus' head that said "King of the Jews" to be changed, but Pilate refused. Jesus would be on that torture stake all that day until close to evening. At noon it got dark for three hours. Jesus expired at 3 p.m.
Jesus was in the grave for the next three nights and rose on Sunday, the 23rd. After appearing 40 days he ascended to heaven and in just 3 days holy spirit came upon the 120 in the upper room. When Jesus rises on Easter Sunday, the 16th, it takes 10 whole days before holy spirit comes; which is not the case.
So for Jesus to fulfill being the "passover lamb" he fulfills that by dying at 3 p.m. on preparation before the high-sabbath of the 7th day of unleavened bread, whereas the lambs are killed at 3 p.m. on preparation before the high-sabbath of the 1st day of unleavened bread. A beautiful parallel!
Even so, this is the best explanation for harmonizing John and the synoptic gospels that I've seen. Indeed, John is using "passover" to refer to the entire week!!
THANK YOU for posting this!!
Thank you! You do a great job of explaining things. I do have one thought to add... there are two Sabbaths the week of Passover.
I think the confusion we Gentiles have on this topic is caused by our attempt to convert the Jewish calendar (sunset to sunset) to our Gregorian calendar. If we can resist that temptation, the issue is simplified considerably.
Exodus 12:1-20 sets aside:
- The 10th day of Nissan as the day to select the Passover animal (they are to care for the animal until sacrifice four days later)
- The 14th day of Nissan as Passover, the day to sacrifice the animal
- The 15th day of Nissan as the start of the week-long Feast of Unleavened Bread. The 15th and the 21st are High Sabbaths.
Leviticus 23:9-11 sets aside:
- The 1st day of the week (Sunday) that occurs within the week-long Feast of Unleavened Bread as First Fruits.
This pattern can fit a Wed, Thur, or Fri Passover. I lean toward a Thursday Passover because I believe Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem best fits a 10th day selection of the Passover Lamb.
This would make:
- The 10th day of Nissan a Sunday (Palm Sunday when the people selected Jesus as their Messiah)
- The 12th day of Nissan a Tuesday (when Jesus was anointed with oil)
- The 14th day of Nissan a Thursday (Passover when Jesus was sacrificed and buried, and the day of preparation for the high Sabbath.)
- The 15th day of Nissan a Friday (the first day of the week-long Feast of Unleavened Bread, a high Sabbath
)
- The 16th day of Nissan a Saturday (the weekly Sabbath)
- The 17th day of Nissan a Sunday (First Fruits, the day Jesus is raised. Also, the day the women prepared spices (after sundown) and then visited the tomb prior to sunrise.)
By focusing on the Feasts, it seems clear: Jesus died on the 14th and was raised on the 17th... 3 days later.
Let's begin with this false teaching of Friday to a Sunday resurrection of how it does NOT make sense. = 2Tim.2:18. ➡️If Jesus was buried Friday evening before the weekly Sabbath by Joseph of Armithaea in Matthew 27:57-61 & Luke 23:50-55 as so many say, then why did they miss a crucial part of Luke 23:54 (Make sure you see Luke 23:54 in the International Standard Version of Bible Gateway where it says "...the Sabbath was just beginning" & Holman Christian Standard Bible footnotes.)? Notice in Luke 23:54 = it says "and the sabbath drew on."; what does this mean? According to the 1984 New Concise Webster's Dictionary; it states "Drew = to pull or drag" while "On = over and in contact with". So if the weekly Sabbath was beginning, then how could they prepare spices in verse 56? Even Sunday morning at dawn in buying spices don't make sense; read again Matt.28:1, Mark 16:2 (rising of the sun), Luke 24:1, John 20:1(dark). Why did people also leave out Matt.27:63 & Mark 8:31 = "After 3 days I will rise again", John 2:19-21 ="In 3 days I will rise again" & Luke 24:46 = "the 3rd day" which all point forward to Matt.12:40? Why do people also leave out Dan.9:27 that says "Jesus died in the middle of the week."?

No contradictions anywhere: please read.
Daniel 9:27 says Jesus died in the middle of the week. Read Lev. 23:5 says in the evening of the 14th is Passover while the 15th in the evening is a holy convocation in Lev.23:6-7. Clue is in Mark 14:1-2 (➡️Mark 14:2 refers to the 1st Holy Day of Feast of Unleavened Bread) where it talks about both. Passover is with wine and Unleavened Bread & is NOT a holy day; see Matt.26:17-29 which was in the evening. Now read Luke 22:1,7-19, it still talks about Passover in Luke 23:17. Luke 23:54 says Jesus died at 3pm on Wednesday on Passover. ➡️Now look at John 19:31 where it talks about Preparation (Passover) & the Sabbath High Day which would be The 1st Day of Unleavened Bread; see Lev.23:7. On Wednesday evening, Joseph of Armithaea took the body of Jesus & put him in the sepulchre in Matt.27:57-61, Mark 15:43-47, Luke 23:50-54 ("Sabbath drew on" : 1984 New Concise Webster's Dictionary says Drew = to pull or drag while On = over and in contact with)& John 19:38-42.
*On Thursday of the Feast of Unleavened Bread- the High Sabbath Day, the chief priests and Pharisees went to Pilate = Matt.27:62-66.
*On Friday: women bought spices in Mark 16:1 and prepared them before the weekly Sabbath in Luke 23:56.
* On Saturday weekly Sabbath: women rested according to the commandment in Luke 23:56.
Saturday evening Jesus was resurrected at the same time He was put in the grave. ➡️Clue: Matt.28:13
Matthew 12:40 = true sign of Messiahship
Thursday, Friday, Saturday = 3 days
Wednesday Night, Thursday Night, Friday Night = 3 nights
* On Sunday of Matt.28:1-6, it just reveals that Jesus was NOT in the grave even though the stone was rolled away: logical sense when Jesus was resurrected on Saturday evening, for He is LORD of the Sabbath. Mark 16:9 has the comma in the wrong spot, you would know this in the Greek where there was no punctuation in it.
www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&client=tablet-android-samsung&source=android-browser&q=no+punctuation+in+the+Greek
It also talks about the Greek in their booklet too: www.tomorrowsworld.org/booklets/easter-the-untold-story
1st of all Luke 24:1-3 says the women found the stone rolled away & Christ's body wasn't there.
2ndly Luke 24:1-3 doesn't say He rose early, in the morning; it says He wasn't there.
3rdly Luke 24:21 says "today is the third day since these things have happened."
What does these mean by "these things"? They didn't say specifically that it was the third day since Jesus died. It appears they're talking about things that happened over multiple days (v.14 says "they talked together of all these things which had happened"). All these things could be Christ's burial, the sealing of the tomb, placing the guard, etc. This could easily mean that "this is the third day" from the ending point of "all these things" which could be considered Wednesday to Sunday. Similarly, it doesn't sound like they're giving an "exact" time reference since they're talking about all the things that have happened which occurred on multiple days.
This can't be right!
First the 15th and the 21st were not referred to as High Sabbaths in Exodus. They were Holy Convocations - gatherings by trumpets at the Sanctuary. A high sabbath is still a sabbath - Saturday. It is just that a holy day falls on it.
Second, John would contradict the other gospels (I have no problem with John getting it wrong) since they clearly have Jesus die on Friday - Luke 24:21 - the Road to Emmaus - the two guys said that it was the 3rd day since he was crucified. If that day is Sunday just count backwards. It lands on Friday. You have 4 days - whoops!
Third, you would have John contradict himself since he says Jesus was buried on the preparation day and says that the approaching Sabbath was a high Sabbath. Preparation day is Friday.
I’m inclined to agree with you, although I lean more to a Wednesday crucifixion in 31 AD. I was wondering what are your thoughts about John 12:1-2 ruling out a Friday Passover, since if Passover were on a Friday, then 6 days before Passover (John 12:1-2), would land on a Saturday Sabbath when no meals can be cooked, yet they cooked a dinner. But a Thursday or Wednesday crucifixion, counting back 6 days would not conflict with a Sabbath, but would land on either a Friday or Thursday, thus allowing for a cooked dinner for Jesus, Lazarus, Disciples, etc.
There were two Sabbath on Passover, the first one, the high holy Sabbath during preparation and then the weekly Sabbath the high holy Sabbath was annually on every Feast ,you are mistaken. Throughout the gospel Jesus talks about being in the Earth for 3 Days, raising the temple in 3 days, you totally neglect this. So if Jesus was in the belly of the Earth for 3 days and according to you he was crucified on, Sabbath the weekly Sabbath then he resurrected on Monday or Tuesday. On the annual Sabbath which was on the 14th like Moses was told by God to celebrate Passover on the 14th day of the month then Jesus would have resurrected on the second Sabbath just before the first day of the week because according to the Jewish calendar they start their days in the evening
What bothers me is that someone like Ehrman will know all of this but still persist in presenting it as a simple and direct contradiction. It makes you feel like he's been deceptive.
He is.
I just did an intensive research on passober from old testament.
And interpreting th
Gospel of John in light of Jewish passover in the Torah, it makes sense John agrees with synoptics.
The fact is Bart Ehrman is a new testament scholar, not s Bible scholar as a whole.
So he jusr focuses on the new testament
You rock bro! May GOD bless you for your efforts!
Are you the real Bob?
I'm glad God wrote and put the entire Bible together and all the gospels do not say the same exact thing because it gets people to talk about his word.
The mention of the 6th hour, in 19:14, is one contradiction that has not be adequately dealt with (yes I've seen the other video on this and that did not resolve it).
These kinds of contradictions and the way they can be resolved by their cultural and language context and eyewitness testimony simply show they are reliable and true. Even if you don't think they are inerrant, you can, because of these things, know that the Gospels are true and that their authors weren't making a story up, but remembering things from the life of their beloved teacher and rabbi Jesus of Nazareth, differently. Not making anything up.
Skeptics, I am giving you an advice:
accept it, Jesus IS the Son of God.
Simply admit it.
Just admit it.
You can go on with your life and not follow His commandments or not accept Him as your Lord if you don't want. But be honest and say:
,,Yes, He is the Son of God, but I don't want to follow Him and I don't want to love Him!"
Admit it and don't follow Him if you want. I mean, it's not good for your salvation, but if you don't want to love Him and call Him Lord, okay. Not good for you, but it is your free will.
But admit He is.
You might not want to follow Him, but there are some of us who do want to follow Him.
Amen!
How can you be sure of telling a story more than 30 years after death of jesus in detail in Greek rather than Aremeic?
@@TheMfbs17
You brought up two objections.
First one:
,,Gospels being written twenty to thirty years after Jesus' Ascension."
Well, many other ancient biographies were written actually HUNDRED years after death of person that is focus of them, (first biography of Alexander the Great was written in I century AD, almost 400 years after his death!) so Gospels actually do much better than others. There are also epistles of Paul. They are not biographies of course, but Paul does say that Jesus was descendant of king David, that He was crucified, buried and that He rose from the dead and that He ascended into heaven. Epistles are not biographies, but they do say these basic informations about Him.
Second one:
,,Being written in Greek, rather than Aramaic."
Well, Matthew might have been originaly written in Aramaic, and later translated into Greek. That is explanation for Matthew. Mark was writting to Gentiles. Luke was a Greek. John was also writting to the Gentiles. His gospel was probably written in 70s or 80s, when Jews were exiled from Israel. So it wouldn't make sense for him to write in Aramaic, that is why he wrote it in Greek, as he did.
@@user-yj9qq2zd9i I wonder if you have watch one of Bart Erhmann video regarding Aramaic rather than Greek and contradictions.
@@TheMfbs17 Paraphrase to me his point in that videos.
It’s interesting that all the other verses cited just say “day of preparation” or “day of preparation for the Sabbath” but none of them say “day of preparation of Passover” like John does.
Your actually on to something, your close get the Greek scriptures and it will give you a better understanding of more than just that day. It so beautiful and mind blowing. And trust me whatever text you are using is not inline with the original version.
The Preparation day of the Sabbath was when Jesus was Buried not Crucified, it was already Even when he was taken off the Cross meaning on the Hebrew Calendar it was no longer the same day.
It's because John is trying to portray Jesus as the Lamb of God. Only in John's gospel is this phrase used, which is why many scholars read John's account at face value and believe that John was making a theological point by placing Jesus' death at the same time the lambs were being slaughtered for the Passover meal. That's why there is no passover meal (think the last supper where Jesus talks about the wine and bread symbolizing his death) in John. In John, Jesus IS the passover meal. That's why John has him die then and not when the synoptics say.
@@johnallenii9279 The Snyptics don't have Jesus die then either, those are errors base don mistranslations.
What I want to know is, have you encountered any contradictions or errors so far that you cannot reasonably resolve via context, language, etc ? It is ok for there to be some errors, as this is not a house of cards.
I think it is fine if there are some scribal errors. They definitely exist between Kings and Chronicles. I can’t find any so far in the New Testament that doesn’t have a logical explanation. But even if so I don’t think it would be a big deal.
@@InspiringPhilosophy IP i just want to hear from you. The event of triumphant entry was described differently in the book of Mark and Matthew. Matthew talks about Jesus riding on a cole and a donkey whereas mark talks about Jesus sitting only on a cole. Also in the book of Acts, the testimony of apsotle Paul was described differently in two different incidents.

It's seems like John is trying to portray Jesus as the Lamb of God. Only in John's gospel is this phrase used, which is why many scholars read John's account at face value and believe that John was making a theological point by placing Jesus' death at the same time the lambs were being slaughtered for the Passover meal. That's why there is no passover meal (think the last supper where Jesus talks about the wine and bread symbolizing his death) in John. That's why in John 6 Jesus says we must "eat his flesh and drink his blood." In John, Jesus IS the passover meal. That's why John has him die with the lambs and not the day after the feast. John is teaching us that we ought to feast on Christ, the true passover lamb, and he is literarily moving his death to make this theological point.
According to Yohanan, Jesus is the Passover lamb, and this lamb was sacrificed towards evening, on the 14th day of the month of Nisan (and eaten after sunset, on the 15th day) and therefore it is more likely (although not certain) that Yohanan meant that Jesus was crucified on a Friday, which was the day when the Passover lamb was sacrificed in the temple.
It seems that people that have studied this event realize that the crucifixion took place on Wednesday which was the day before the special "high" sabbath and there were 3 days and 3 nights between crucifixion and resurrection. This also allows for the women buying spices then resting on sabbath.
There were 2 sabbaths, Thursday and the regular Saturday one. The Friday scenario does not fit. Lots of information available to verify this.
“The term “day of preparation” appears in all the gospels as a description of the day on which Jesus died. It could refer to any Friday as the day of preparation OF THE SABBATH, and this is the way the synoptic gospels use the term. John, however, specifies in addition that this was not only the day of preparation of the sabbath, but also the day of preparation of the Passover, so that the sabbath on the following day was the Passover.”
NET Bible
Day of Preparation can refer to a weekly sabbath or a high sabbath.
A high sabbath can occur on any given day.
Meaning to say "Day of Preperation" does not mean Friday in the Biblical context.
In verse 31 it says the next day was a Special Sabbath.
The day of Passover is not a Special Sabbath.
The 1st Day of Unleavened Bread is a Special Sabbath.
You can see this clearly in the Torah.
The day before the Special Sabbath is Passover.
@@travisdempster4693 You are absolutely right about it. Day of crucifixion was Wednesday, as it was wednesday also on the first passover in history, when Moses left Egypt with his people. In the middle of the week, according to the prophecy. There is absolute proof for it in the Bible itself.

You are making an assumption based on your bias.

Your longest Supposed Bible contradiction video
As to 19:14 - It can't be referring to just the day before the weekly sabbath (even though it could still fall on a Friday) since this day is the same day as verse 31- "...because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies should not stay on the crosses on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was an especially important one)." The Sabbath that he is referring to is high sabbath - so the day prior to this high Sabbath is the preparation day. Whether or not that day falls on the weekly sabbath is another issue. That sabbath he must be referring to is the 1st of Unleavened Bread (the 15th). So again John has the preparation day as the 14th when Jesus is crucified and the other Gospels have him crucified on the 15th after the Passover meal. Unless you can massage the other Gospels to have them eat just an ordinary meal (which given the context and other nuances is unlikely) there still remains a huge problem here. Verse 42 lets you know that this high sabbath and the weekly sabbath overlapped. Thus this 14th preparation day is also a Friday. But that still does not help with the other Gospels.
I think "I" can help. The Upper Room was a place "prepared" for JESUS and his Disciples to eat the "Passover".
The "Passover" meal MUST have "The LAMB" Slain "ON" The Day of Preparation. Thus, JESUS and his Disciples ate only BREAD and Erbs and Wine [NO LAMB...YET]. JESUS' DISCIPLES had prepared the Room, for them to OCCUPY UNTIL they ate the "Passover" meal [WITH the LAMB] on the HIGH DAY SABBATH the NEXT evening.
BUT JESUS knew He would NOT make that Passover Meal the NEXT evening. The Disciples did NOT know and thought they were preparing for a PLACE [The Room] they needed to LODGE until the NEXT Evening for that Passover Meal. They would have the Upper Room reserved for TWO Days [Nissan 14 AND Nissan 15].
Thus, when they "Checked in" to the Upper Room that 14th evening, the Meal was NOT YET the Passover that they sat down to eat and that The Disciples were anticipating the NEXT evening. Jesus' longing to eat "this" Passover with them was NOT referring to the "Checked In evening" Room they were eating their "usual" evening meal -There was NO Passover Lamb, that would come the NEXT evening--after the Lambs were slain. And so JESUS knew He would NOT eat "This Passover" with them as He longed for unless His Father Decided to let "this cup" pass from Him later that night.
Does psalm 116:16 disprove Jesus was crucifed?
I admire this channel for excellent research and well-presented messages. I have found much more good doctrine and truth than I have found errors. However, this is one subject that I was disappointed to discover that Inspiring Philosophy has gotten wrong.
In the year that Jesus died, the Passover was on Wednesday (which began at sundown on Tuesday in our terms).
Jesus ate Passover Meal (Last Supper) on the Passover which would have been just after sunset on what we would call Tuesday evening (but to the Jews was early on Wednesday). Jesus then went to the garden, was arrested, and ultimately condemned. Jesus was placed on the cross at approximately 9am on Wednesday morning.
When Jesus died later in the day His followers wanted to remove and bury Him before sundown because the next day (Thursday) was a High Sabbath Day. This was NOT the weekly Sabbath but the first day of Unleavened Bread, which is a High Sabbath day. It is one of the seven High Sabbath Days of the year.
Remember, Passover is NOT a Sabbath Day, the day AFTER Passover is the High Sabbath!
The scriptures are very clear on this...
“Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him.” (Mark 16:1)
This refers to the annual High Sabbath Day that was on Thursday. Mary did not have time to buy spices on Wednesday because Jesus was taken down and buried just before sunset and the start of the High Sabbath Day.
But then…
“And the women who had come with [Christ] from Galilee followed after, and they observed the tomb and how His body was laid. Then they returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.” (Luke 23:55-56)
.
Do you see a problem here? Mark clearly states that the women bought the spices after the Sabbath-“when the Sabbath was past.” Luke tells us that the women prepared the spices and fragrant oils, after which “they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.”
This is not a contradiction, this points out what is so often missed by modern teachers… there were TWO Sabbath days that week (as there is every year on Passover week). The first is the High Sabbath Day of Unleavened Bread that occurs the day after Passover, and the second is the weekly Sabbath on Saturday.
- Jesus ate Passover meal just after sundown on Passover (Tuesday evening to us)
- Jesus was arrested, condemned, and put on the cross on Passover (what would be Wednesday morning to us)
- Jesus died and was placed in the tomb just before sundown on Wednesday
- Mary observed the High Sabbath Day on Thursday
- Mary bought spices to anoint Jesus on Friday
- Mary observed the weekly Sabbath on Saturday
- Mary went to the tomb of Jesus early on the first day of the week
Something else that is vital to understand…
Despite the Catholic false doctrine that has unfortunately been adopted by most of western Christianity, is that Christ did NOT rise from the tomb on the first day of the week (Sunday), He rose in the last moments of the day on the Sabbath Day on Saturday. Mary discovered Him missing on Sunday, but He had risen on Saturday.
“on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.” (John 20:1)
Many people make an error on this because they think in our modern terms of time. They imagine Mary going to the tomb early morning (maybe 6am). However, you must remember that the Jews start the day at sundown, so early on the first day of the week would have actually been just shortly after sundown on Saturday (6pm!).
Jesus said He would be in the ground for three days and three nights. This was fulfilled perfectly in that Jesus spent precisely 72 hours dead in the tomb and was risen just moments before sundown, just as He had been laid to rest just moments before sundown on Wednesday.
Jesus spent Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in the tomb and rose moments before the end of the weekly Sabbath on Saturday.
The teaching that Jesus died on Friday is a Catholic lie and is used to argue that to fulfill the three days and three nights means that Jesus rose on Sunday (the first day of the week). This supposedly justifies why Catholic false teaching has Christians observing the first day of the week instead of the Sabbath Day as God has commanded.
One other interesting tidbit... most passages of scripture, even single verses of prophecy, have two separate fulfillments. One prophetic (or spiritual) and one literal.
Daniel 9:26-27 Tell of the messiah who would be "cut off" (killed) in the midst of the prophetic week. This refers to the seventieth week of Daniel, which was the ministry of Jesus Christ on Earth. However, Jesus was "cut off" after 42 months (three and one-half years) or in the midst of His prophetic week of ministry. This is the prophetic fulfillment.
Likewise, Jesus was killed on Wednesday, the literal midst of the week. This is the literal fulfillment. I believe God did this intentionally because of the confusion over Christs death and resurrection and to make clear that Jesus died on Wednesday and rose on Saturday. God did this to make clear to all with eyes to see and ears to hear that Christ did NOT rise on Sunday and that the Friday to Sunday teaching is a lie.
Please understand also, that the seventieth week of Daniel is not about some mythical antichrist, or about some absurd seven year peace deal. These are lies to mislead you from observing one of the most powerful Messianic passages in all of Scripture. Daniel 9 is ALL about Jesus Christ and Daniel 9:26-27 is about the ministry of Jesus Christ in fulfillment of the seventy week prophecy as Jesus was the point of the seventieth week on Daniel's Prophecy.
Yes, I agree! He most likely was crucified and died on the Wednesday!
The last supper took place at Thursday, and Jesus died around 3 PM of Friday, 20 March, year 33 AD. Then he was buried at Saturday, and resurrected at night, or early morning between Sunday and Monday.
I understand that the day of preparation was always the Friday prior to the weekly Sabbath.

But that they may all be referring to Thursday not Friday.
It would be interesting to see a video with your perspective on Why you think Friday over a Thursday or Wednesday Crucifixion.
@@leinalophar5218 Just one point since it would be a waste of time to cover everything - Luke 23:54 says: "It was the day of preparation and the Sabbath was beginning." Notice that it was Friday. The phrase beginning is simply letting the reader know that it was drawing near. Notice what it says in verse 56 after they prepared the spices. "On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment." Context context context and a little understanding of grammar helps.
@@veridicusmaximus6010 I really feel it is hard to talk to people, for it seems they miss the crucial details such as ➡️ "the Sabbath was beginning" in Luke 23:54. Also they miss the fact that there were 2 Sabbaths that week. Yes, you have pointed out Luke 23:56 which is Friday & Saturday, but Luke 23:54 isn't. If Luke 23:56 was before Luke 23:54, then your statement would make sense, but it is NOT. Why do you believe when it says preparation and Sabbath in Luke 23:54, that it is talking about Friday and Saturday? There are many different Sabbaths in the Bible and the preparation day begins before it. However this preparation day is specific, it is the "Preparation of the Passover".
Please look at what I said carefully above your name on how all the scriptures fit with it in my paragraph "No contradictions anywhere; please read". Yes it says the Sabbath was beginning, but we can't assume it is talking about the weekly Sabbath, for there are many Sabbaths in the Bible of Lev.23. However we can determine that Luke 23:56 is definitely talking about Friday and Saturday, but Luke 23:56 is NOT before Luke 23:54. Remember also it states in Matt.12:40 that Jesus would be in the grave 3 full nights and 3 full days, you can't get this from Friday night to Sunday morning.
@@leinalophar5218 Verse 56b is Saturday thus verses 54-56a is Friday.
Happy easter
I think you misinterpreted John 19:31, when John says it is a High Sabath or High Day I believe he is not talking about the weekly sabbath but the yearly ceremonial sabbath that is mentioned in Lev. 16:29-31, 23:24-32, 39. So that would mean there were occasions when there two sabbaths (like the case here). If you take that into account all four Gospels come together and the passages make much more sense. Cheers.
Great video!!!!
BUT Does Luke 24:21 contradict Friday view ? The people who believe Jesus died on Wednesday use this verse as proof text
What do you think of this solution given by Pope Benedict XVI in his book _Jesus of Nazareth: Holy Week:_
[...]
So what are we to say? The most meticulous evaluation I have come across of all the solutions proposed so far is found in the book _A Marginal Jew: Rethinking the Historical Jesus,_ by John P. Meier, who at the end of his first volume presents a comprehensive study of the chronology of Jesus' life. He concludes that one has to choose between the Synoptic and Johannine chronologies, and he argues, on the basis of the whole range of source material, that the weight of evidence favors John.
John is right when he says that at the time of Jesus' trial before Pilate, the Jewish authorities had not yet eaten the Passover and, thus, had to keep themselves ritually pure. He is right that the crucifixion took place, not on the feast, but on the day before the feast. This means that Jesus died at the hour when the Passover lambs were being slaughtered in the Temple. That Christians later saw this as no coincidence, that they recognized Jesus as the true Lamb, that in this way they came to see the true meaning of the ritual of the lambs-all this seems to follow naturally.
[...]
We have to ask, though, what Jesus' Last Supper actually was. And how did it acquire its undoubtedly early attribution of Passover character? The answer given by Meier is astonishingly simple and in many respects convincing: Jesus knew that he was about to die. He knew that he would not be able to eat the Passover again. Fully aware of this, he invited his disciples to a Last Supper of a very special kind, one that followed no specific Jewish ritual but, rather, constituted his farewell; during the meal he gave them something new: he gave them himself as the true Lamb and thereby instituted his Passover.
In all the Synoptic Gospels, the prophecy of Jesus' death and Resurrection form part of this meal. Luke presents it in an especially solemn and mysterious form: "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; for I tell you I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God" (22:15-16). The saying is ambiguous. It can mean that Jesus is eating the usual Passover meal with his disciples for the last time. But it can also mean that he is eating it no longer but, rather, is on his way to the new Passover.
One thing emerges clearly from the entire tradition: essentially, this farewell meal was not the old Passover, but the new one, which Jesus accomplished in this context. Even though the meal that Jesus shared with the Twelve was not a Passover meal according to the ritual prescriptions of Judaism, nevertheless, in retrospect, the inner connection of the whole event with Jesus' death and Resurrection stood out clearly. It was Jesus' Passover. And in this sense he both did and did not celebrate the Passover: the old rituals could not be carried out-when their time came, Jesus had already died. But he had given himself, and thus he had truly celebrated the Passover with them. The old was not abolished; it was simply brought to its full meaning.
[...]
On this basis one can understand how it was that very early on, Jesus' Last Supper-which includes not only a prophecy, but a real anticipation of the Cross and Resurrection in the eucharistic gifts-was regarded as a Passover: as _his_ Passover. And so it was.
But Jesus, the Passover lamb, prophetically was to be sacrificed on Nisan 14 at 3pm as according to Leviticus 16.
He was.
The passover meal happened on thrusday night which is the beg2of a new Jewish day nisan.
Nisan 14th 3pm is after the passover initial meal.
And preparation for the sabbath.
Hey there brother GBU! Just came to find out about you. Loving your videos. May god continue to bless you with wisdom, knowledge and understanding. This is truly a blessing to have people like you that invest deeply into the word of god.
I have a question though
Would you be able to do a video on Christian & alcohol and the flat earth theory conspiracy
No Jesus died on Friday!!!! The Jews count a day from evening to evening. So Jesus died at 3:00 o’clock on Friday afternoon before Friday evening or sundown when sun-down strikes on Friday for the Jews it’s Saturday or the beginning of the Sabbath the Sabbath ends on Saturday evening Sun-down. If you don’t study 📖 Jewish Customs then when you read the Bible it’s going to seam as a contradiction but it’s not. You are the one who is interpreting the Bible wrong!!! Don’t blame it on the Gospel writers.
Thanks :)
With that info (Thursday the Passover) I would say Jesus died in 34 because that is where Passover fell on a Thursday.

Are you really following Jesus or the church? If you were following Jesus you would worship the only God(father).
Mark 12:29
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Does 1=3? Clearly Jesus submits himself to one God, Jesus did not teach according to Paul or all the different writers of the New Testament. So why are you following them instead of Jesus?
@@unam9931 This is not a quote from Jesus(pbuh), in fact this whole chapter was made by Paul. wn.elib.com/Library/Religious/KJV/NR/NewTrl_phil.html
You will never find a verse where Jesus himself says he's "God" or to "Worship me". Why does he say "thy kingdom come" and not "my kingdom come"? Would a "God" pray? Does God defecate himself?
This view that Jesus is "God" makes the whole bible confusing, Jesus never even refereed to a trinity but to a single diety, The father (Allah) the one true God.
Mark 12:29
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Jesus was a Jew meaning they worshiped the one true God and still do.
Mark 10:18
"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God alone.
Jesus not only can't take a compliment but also talks about the one true God as an entity on its own.
Matthew 7:22-23
On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Why would he say this to the Christians and no one else? Maybe because they aren't truly following his teachings and prefer Paul's teachings instead. If you want proof that the Qur'an is truly Gods word and you are committed to finding the truth I recommend watching this short video that will prove without a doubt that it is from the creator.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
Never in the bible is Jesus using as many masculine pronouns than in these verses. He's clarifying it will be a man and not "spook" and that he will portray the same words that Jesus spoke. God's Word because they were both messengers from Allah (the creator).
Thanks for reading my reply and may God guide you!
The Passover was such a special day that their was a special day of Preparation (Thursday) regarded as a pre - Sabbath so Jesus was actually Crucified on a Wednesday and buried on a Wednesday (before 6 pm) when the Day of Preparation began.
Jesus body was in the ground for 3 days and he rose on Sunday morning. (Try reading THE BIBLE.)

42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, 43 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. 44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. 45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
There are lots of problems with your approach here.
Firstly it must be noted that the majority of scholars who claim this is a contradiction don't think that the Synoptics and John present Jesus dying on different days of the week, but at different times during the Passover. The idea is that in both accounts he dies on FRIDAY, but in the synoptics this is the day of Passover (with the meal having been eaten the night before), whereas in John this Friday is the Day of Preparation (with the meal yet to be eaten - to take place on Friday Night). This could be why John makes reference to the approaching Sabbath as being 'high sabbath' or special sabbath - because the Passover and Sabbath were on the same day.
One big issue I have is that your explanation is it relies on a twisting what the text actually says.. e.g. John 19:14 clearly says it is the Day of Preparation for the Passover. There are no logical grounds to twist this mean a day of preparation 'during the passover'. Especially given the previous references to the fact that the Priests haven't yet eaten the passover.
Why would he say it was the day of preparation for the passover - during the passover? He would say, it was the day of preparation for the Sabbath.
Also if the passover meal had been eaten the night before then this would still be the day of Passover - 15 Nisan - a special day. The idea that he would refer to this as a 'day of preparation for the passover' when it was the 15 Nisan - which everybody refers to as Passover - is very far fetched.
We refer to Christmas as 25th December, but also the whole period from 24th Dec to 6 Jan. But if I go out to buy extra food in 26th Dec I wouldn't refer to this as a 'preparation day' for Christmas.
What you need to do is to change the most obvious meanings of 'Passover meal' and 'day of preparation'. Of course its a possibility but it doesn't seem plausible at all.
All the clues in John point to the fact the Passover meal hasn't happened.
John 13:1 'Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 The devil had already decided[a] that Judas son of Simon Iscariot would betray Jesus. And during supper ....'
John Explicitly says this was before the Passover festival. To say that he then jumps 1 verse later to the Passover when he says 'supper' is far fetched. You don't usually introduce a scene by saying it was Before an event, give no details of what anyone did on that day (Jesus 'loving his own to the end' is surely referring to the foot washing he was about to do, rather than some non specified 'loving' on the day of preparation?) and then jump straight in to the event.
Added to this the explicit references to the next day as being the day of Preparation for the Passover, and the passover meal not having been eaten and it all adds up to the fact the passover hadn't begun.
The idea that Judas going out to buy provisions supports your view that the passover meal was eaten before Jesus died is odd. If he is going out to buy non perishables for the week then that could still take place the day before the 'Day of preparation'. Its more unrealistic to assume that the disciples thought he was leaving a sacred meal to go shopping! Seriously, one of the most sacred nights of the Jewish Calendar and the disciples would assume - yeah he is going out to get provisions... If anything him leaving to buy stuff indicates that this was before the Passover meal not during.
I am really tired of you acting like the one aspect of Passion Week chronology no one disputes is a Friday Crucifixion, in your last video straw-manning those who disagree with you as arguing for a Monday Crucifixion.
The dispute this video about is irrelevant to the Day of the Week aspect of the Debate so you should have just not mentioned that at all. You should be saying 14th instead of Thursday and 15th instead of Friday.

This type of quote would be evidence that He's "god", but no where in the hebrew manuscripts does Jesus say he's god or worship me. Does the bible really need human interpretation to come to such a conclusion that should be in your bible if it was true?? That's so ridiculous noting that he was a JEw that worships only one God(the father, Illah, Allah).

"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God alone.

Associating partners with God is no joke and is the only sin that God will not forgive on the day of judgement.

He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
Like I said, Jesus was preaching God's word just like Moses and Jesus(pbuh) explains in these verse that there would be a Prophet after him. No where in the bible does Jesus(pbuh) us more masculine pronouns to show you it will be a man not a Ghost. This spirit he is referring to is the angel Gibrail (he brings the revelation to the prophets). If you look into the Hebrew manuscripts you can see he evidence of Jesus referring to the next prophet as (Ahmed, translated into arabic as Muhammad Pbut).

I also think that the lambs could never be slain at night so that might be why some were slain on Thursday during the day and some on Friday during the day but most likely Thursday since Friday would have been the annual Sabbath being the first day of unlevel unleavened bread. .. they would have eaten unleavened bread on Thursday night because the day started at sundown.

I think Fr. John Behr would disagree with you in his latest book “John the Theologian and His Paschal Gospel”. I think he thinks there is a good theological reason for the contradiction, and it should be embraced, not reinterpreted to make consonant with the Synoptics.

Easy, "this generation" means the generation that's alive during the time of the Lord's second coming, i.e., it hasn't happened yet.
The Friday crucifixion still does not make sense concerning the three days and nights sign of Jonah, nor the fact that Jesus is Lord over the Sabbath. It makes more sense that he dies before a Sabbath and resurrects after a Sabbath while being in the grave for three full days and nights. The two Sabbath theory makes logical sense, albeit unpopular. The two Sabbath theory also reconciles John with the other Gospels. Just my two cents.
I think you are confused. you keep talking about Thursday and Friday. The Bible nowhere specifies these days of the week. Jesus, our Passover, the "Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world", died with the Passover lambs on Nisan 14, fulfilling and replacing that ordinance. The next day, which began at sundown was Nisan 15, the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The Jewish Passover meal was eaten that evening, after Jesus had been buried. The 15th was set by the calendar and fell on different days in different years but was still a Sabbath, in fact, as John records, a "Special Sabbath" or High Day whatever day it fell on. It was not the weekly, 7th day Sabbath, that came later in the week, at the end of the three (full) days and three (full) nights that Jesus said he would be in the grave. The confusion began four centuries later when Christian leaders moved the celebration away from the Jewish holy days out of antisemitic motives and excommunicated those Christians who counted the days from Nisan 14 on the Jewish calendar to determine when to celebrate the resurrection. That rather dubious tradition continues. (Nisan 14 was on April 22nd this year so the resurrection anniversary would have been at/near sundown on April 25. When did you celebrate it?
Jesus died 15th day
Wednesday =the 14th day of the month
Thursday =the 15th day of the month
Except he was cut off in the middle of the week as Daniel prophecied which was on Wednesday. He celebrated the Passover meal with the disciples in Matthew, Mark, Luke like the Israelites did in Egypt before God killed the Egyptian's first born and passed over the houses marked with the blood. You cannot , it is impossible to get 3 days and 3 nights from Friday to Sunday, but you can however get 3 days&nights from Wednesday up till the weekly sabbath.
No offense to Sunday keepers but you're going to have to choose what day is Sunday. Is it the first day or the 7th? Everytime I talk sabbath, Sunday keepers say the 7th day is Sunday but when Passover comes around, you say it's the first day.
1Corinthian 14 states God is not an author of confusion. It also says in Psalms 111:10 that to understand God's words you have to keep all his commandments which includes the Sabbaths.
Keep the commandments folks. You guys will be forced to celebrate the Holy Feast/High Sabbaths, God's holy Feast days when God returns. It's in Zachariah 14:16-21.
Tuesday afternoon (Nisan 13) ate a last supper (before a fast) preceding the Fast of the First born (which Galilean Jews kept (not a Passover Meal - yes the text says it was Passover but it also mixes the Passover activities of two different days into one day, proving they were sloppy in their use of terms - - - also if it was a Passover meal then the day the Lambs were sacrificed should have been the day before this meal - meaning Jesus' death was too late to be on the right day.) / Wed (Nisan 14) garden to trials to death to burial / Thursday (NIsan 15) - Passover meal just after sunset - tomb guard requested and placed / Friday (Nisan 16) Spices purchased and prepared by women / Saturday (Nisan 17) Resurrection just before sunset (72 hours - 3 nights & 3 days in ground) / Sunday (Nisan 18) discovery and revelation of resurrection - Emmaus road meeting - 'today (Sunday) is the 3rd say SINCE these collective Jesus events of last week' - the last Jesus event the text cites is the posting of the tomb guard on Thurs. One day SINCE Thursday was Friday (Nisan 16). The third day SINCE the last Jesus event of last week was Sunday (Nisan 18).
If you say Christ died on Friday that creates the problem of the 3 days and 3 nights to His resurrection on Sunday. If it can be established with certainty that the Crucifixion occurred on 33 AD then we can calculate on what day of the week the Passover Seder would have occurred. It would have to show Christ was dead 3 days and 3 nights. Friday to Sunday does not do that. If one can prove He did not lie dead for 3 days and 3 nights you are giving them occasion to say it disproves the Jonah prediction. If He died on Thursday (Friday being the Passover day or High Sabbath immediately followed by the regular Sabbath) you count Thursday night as night 1, Friday as day 1 and so on to Sunday morning before sunrise, day 3.

Let's begin with this false teaching of Friday to a Sunday resurrection of how it does NOT make sense. = 2Tim.2:18. ➡️If Jesus was buried Friday evening before the weekly Sabbath by Joseph of Armithaea in Matthew 27:57-61 & Luke 23:50-55 as so many say, then why did they miss a crucial part of Luke 23:54 (Make sure you see Luke 23:54 in the International Standard Version of Bible Gateway where it says "...the Sabbath was just beginning" & Holman Christian Standard Bible footnotes.)? Notice in Luke 23:54 = it says "and the sabbath drew on."; what does this mean? According to the 1984 New Concise Webster's Dictionary; it states "Drew = to pull or drag" while "On = over and in contact with". So if the weekly Sabbath was beginning, then how could they prepare spices in verse 56? Even Sunday morning at dawn in buying spices don't make sense; read again Matt.28:1, Mark 16:2 (rising of the sun), Luke 24:1, John 20:1(dark). Why did people also leave out Matt.27:63 & Mark 8:31 = "After 3 days I will rise again", John 2:19-21 ="In 3 days I will rise again" & Luke 24:46 = "the 3rd day" which all point forward to Matt.12:40?

Daniel 9:27 says Jesus died in the middle of the week. Read Lev. 23:5 says in the evening of the 14th is Passover while the 15th in the evening is a holy convocation in Lev.23:6-7. Clue is in Mark 14:1-2 (➡️Mark 14:2 refers to the 1st Holy Day of Feast of Unleavened Bread) where it talks about both. Passover is with wine and Unleavened Bread & is NOT a holy day; see Matt.26:17-29 which was in the evening. Now read Luke 22:1,7-19, it still talks about Passover in Luke 23:17. Luke 23:54 says Jesus died at 3pm on Wednesday on Passover. ➡️Now look at John 19:31 where it talks about Preparation (Passover) & the Sabbath High Day which would be The 1st Day of Unleavened Bread; see Lev.23:7. On Wednesday evening, Joseph of Armithaea took the body of Jesus & put him in the sepulchre in Matt.27:57-61, Mark 15:43-47, Luke 23:50-54 ("Sabbath drew on" : 1984 New Concise Webster's Dictionary says Drew = to pull or drag while On = over and in contact with)& John 19:38-42.
*On Thursday of the Feast of Unleavened Bread- the High Sabbath Day, the chief priests and Pharisees went to Pilate = Matt.27:62-66.
*On Friday: women bought spices in Mark 16:1 and prepared them before the weekly Sabbath in Luke 23:56.
* On Saturday weekly Sabbath: women rested according to the commandment in Luke 23:56.

Matthew 12:40 = true sign of Messiahship
Thursday, Friday, Saturday = 3 days
Wednesday Night, Thursday Night, Friday Night = 3 nights
* On Sunday of Matt.28:1-6, it just reveals that Jesus was NOT in the grave even though the stone was rolled away: logical sense when Jesus was resurrected on Saturday evening, for He is LORD of the Sabbath.

1st of all Luke 24:1-3 says the women found the stone rolled away & Christ's body wasn't there.
2ndly Luke 24:1-3 doesn't say He rose early, in the morning; it says He wasn't there.
3rdly Luke 24:21 says "today is the third day since these things have happened."
What does these mean by "these things"? They didn't say specifically that it was the third day since Jesus died. It appears they're talking about things that happened over multiple days (v.14 says "they talked together of all these things which had happened"). All these things could be Christ's burial, the sealing of the tomb, placing the guard, etc. This could easily mean that "this is the third day" from the ending point of "all these things" which could be considered Wednesday to Sunday. Similarly, it doesn't sound like they're giving an "exact" time reference since they're talking about all the things that have happened which occurred on multiple days.
Your assessment of the meaning of the synoptic gospels is incorrect. A more accurate rendering of Jesus' opening remarks at the last supper is that he'd WANTED TO celebrate the [real] passover with them, but of course knew that he was going to die about the same time that the passover lambs were traditionally slaughtered. That is the only reasonable explanation for how easy it was to still arrange for a room on such short notice (the real passover would have been booked solid, but for 2 days before it vacancies still existed), and more to the point, why they SAT for the last supper (the actual passover was supposed to be eaten standing up w/ shoes on their feet).
The passover is killed "between the evenings"; i.e., late in the afternoon on the 14th of Abid/Nisan. Jewish days begin at sundown, so there was considerable time pressure on people like Joseph or Arimathea to bury Jesus' body, so that he'd have a chance to cleanse himself before the 7-day feast of unleavened bread began. Adding "three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" from the 14th of Abib/Nisan puts you near the end of the 17th when his resurrection occured. One must note that Jesus wasn't NOT necessarily raised Easter Sunday morning: the angels merely reported by then that he was already risen. So seeing that the record of the women that came to embalm him was "the first of the week" [Sunday], you work backwards with the resurrection actually occuring just before sundown the previous day (a *weekly* sabbath, not the special passover holy convocation), and count backwards 3 days. This, on that particular year, puts 14th Nisan on a Wednesday. And in fact, using that derivation, one can pinpoint the year of his death, because only one year in the few year's range from 26-30 CE had its passover on Wednesday.
I am not the only one with this position: I know of at least two other good scholars who have indenpendently come to the same conclusion. In fact, one of them put a video about it up here on CZcams. Happy hunting.
How long was Jesus in the grave? Friday-Sunday?
Another point of discussion is that John was probably going by the Roman timeframe. The Romans viewed the beginning of a new day at noontime, whereas the Jews considered 6 am to be the beginning of a new day
A new day starts at sunset according to the Bible.
@@AncientBert yes sir, that's correct. I meant to put 6 PM, but I see I accidentally put AM, though "sunset" is the better answer.
.... John 19 verse 31 speaks up Leviticus 23 verse 5 through 7 therefore there were two Sabbaths, a high holy Sabbath which was on the 15th of April and then the weekly Sabbath at the end of that week
Excellent treatment!
As the first born of god, Jesus died at Passover, which means the Crucifixion happened at Passover.
I see you are cramming it to fit it
None of the Gospels say that Jesus' last meal was a Passover meal. The Gospels describe this meal by using the Greek word for leavened bread. But, only unleavened bread can be eaten at a Passover meal. The last meal took place on the evening of the 14th of Nissan, that is as the day was beginning. The Passover meal would have been eaten the following afternoon, or on the following evening, that is Nissan 15.
Yashua said that he would be in the grave for 3 days and 3 nights, He definitely was not crucified on Friday.
Allen Brackett what is Good Friday then? Better question why are you following a book that has so many contradictions. Is God confusing?
@@nuri300 the bible is not contradictory at all. The problem is that we don't understand the scriptures, just like the pharisees of Jesus's day did not understand the scriptures, even though they thought that they did. If you can believe what Jesus said about being 3 days and 3 nights in the tomb, and that he was risen before sunrise on the 1st day of the week. And then read in the old testament about the passover feast, and how almightyGod established days and nights, then it will make perfect sense. Good Fridayis a catholic invention, it is not biblical in the least, and is based on a lie.
Nuri, quite simply, if you will count backwards 3 days and 3 nights from when the bible says that Jesus was resurrected, then you will know what day he was crucified on. God Bless.

2ndly Luke 24:1-3 doesn't say He rose early, in the morning; it says He wasn't there.
3rdly Luke 24:21 says "today is the third day since these things have happened."
What does these mean by "these things"? They didn't say specifically that it was the third day since Jesus died. It appears they're talking about things that happened over multiple days (v.14 says "they talked together of all these things which had happened"). All these things could be Christ's burial, the sealing of the tomb, placing the guard, etc. This could easily mean that "this is the third day" from the ending point of "all these things" which could be considered Wednesday to Sunday. Similarly, it doesn't sound like they're giving an "exact" time reference since they're talking about all the things that have happened which occurred on multiple days.
Among many things, the last chapter of Esther gives a specific date about this...April 3, 33AD. If this was Thurs. evening to Fri. evening then it is most likely accurate and prophetic provided the dating of that book. In fact, much more information other than that can be gained from that very short (for a reason) chapter.
Hello Mr. Jones,
Did Jesus,peter, paul, Judas, or even Mary or Joseph ever say they were jewish? Why did christains ever want to attach thier collection of books to the hebrew collection of books? Jesus was the savior of humanity, not only the Jewish religion. The creator (however you wish to refer) chose homo-sapiens for his/her creation of humans (I only used two pronouns for "human" purposes.) In the hebrew collection of books it says the creator was displeased with the creation of humans.
I agree that both John and the other three claimed that Jesus was crucified on Friday, but according to John Friday was before the Passover sacrifice and according to the other three Friday was after the Passover sacrifice!

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.(John 19;31)
If it was Wednesday, what's the matter of Saturday? They'll wait until Friday and if they do not die, they will have their legs broken on Friday.

I can see where you think that this is talking about the weekly Sabbath when it is NOT talking about a weekly Sabbath; the scripture above pertains to the high annual Sabbath of the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Lev.23:6-7). Did you NOT notice: Mark 14:1-2 where it says "after 2 days was the Feast of Passover, and of Unleavened Bread..." as they wouldn't kill Jesus on the Feast Day for the uproar of the people (See also Matt.26:5). Christ died on the Passover (14th of Abib -Lev.23:5, Deut.16:1) as John 19:14,31 applies & the next day was the Feast of Unleavened Bread on the 15th of Abib: a high Sabbath day which happened to be on a Thursday. So why do you have trouble with this; the high Sabbath is NOT the weekly Sabbath. Did you NOT see the whiteboard link in my reply above as the other links about Christ's Death; it seemed if you did, you would understand clearly. I know you won't go to the link because you do NOT want to learn & see that you could be wrong in your theory. People need to take all the scriptures that pertain to Christ's Death, instead of leaving out crucial details. In John 19:14, it states it was the preparation for Passover: it does NOT say preparation for the Sabbath. Actually the Friday to Sunday resurrection denies Jesus Christ, for Jesus said He would be in the grave for 3 full days and 3 full nights according to Matthew 12:40. Friday Night is 1 night and Saturday Night is 2 Nights; where is the 3rd Night? Also Saturday is 1 full day; so NOT 3 days either. If you do NOT want to believe the Bible, that is your business. Why do you NOT study your Bible, the facts are all there.
The Sabbath was called "High Shabbat" because on that Shabbat, the first day of Passover (Holiday of Unleavened Bread) falls, there is no ancient source in which it is written that the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread is called "High Shabbat".@@leinalophar5218
The Passover with all the other feasts are rooted or grounded in their scriptural date and do not roam on the calendar. Abib 14 at Evening will forever be the day after the 7th day Sabbath (evening of Saturday to evening of Sunday). Regarding John 13, that is a wicked insertion; which is supposed to say DURING the Passover not BEFORE. Regarding the Priests not entering so they can eat the Passover and not be defiled, the Old Testament makes it clear that those Priests would consume the Passover sacrifices daily; Numbers 28:16-24. Our Savior was crucified and buried on Sunday before 6p.m., and 3 days later resurrected which is Wednesday.
Wrong! There were 2 sabbaths that week! And what about the women buying spices? Another contradiction??? Try again!
Also there was a special diet for the days of unleavened bread or the Passover which lasted 8 days or 7 days I forget but you were said not only not to eat leavened bread but to eat unleavened bread. So maybe this required some special purchase. I think it's possible the 14th was on the Thursday and that night was the Passover and during that day the Lambs would probably be killed then 15th which was the first day of unleavened bread would have been the day of the crucifixion on Friday and Jesus was the ultimate unleavened offering for he had no sin in the resurrection to be on the 17th on Sunday. I think the calendar feel like this in 29 ad which is a Thursday so it could have made things one day longer with the Passover being on Wednesday night just because there doesn't seem to be much time for all the events in one morning.
If only people knew Greek.... Paraskevi is Friday, period.
Paraskevi means preparation in English.
Thanks you, again, for this excellent summary.
But think of how impossible it would be for Jesus to die the same day he ate passover. He would have to be impaled at 9 a.m., which is when most Christians think Jesus was impaled. But John 19:14 clearly says his final trial was at noon. John 18:28 says that he was first brought to Pilate "but early" meaning just before the early evening which, which was from noon to 3 p.m. How long did Pilate examine Jesus? 2 or 3 hours? How could that fit in with 9 a.m. How could just before noon fit in with 9 a.m.
Then there is the darkness that occurs at noon. If Jesus' trial wasn't until noon, then the first "third hour" after the trial is 9 p.m. Jesus has to be impaled before it gets dark. So that alone involves at least two days.
But ultimately, the greatest testament against Jesus dying the same night he ate passover is that the passover meal is ALWAYS EATEN ON A SABBATH DAY! Always! Even when you consider that Jesus was to die on the 14th at 3 p.m. the same time the lambs were killed on the 14th at 3 p.m., clearly sundown would begin the sabbath of the 1st day of unleavened bread. The Israelites left Egypt on the 15th. What is not known is that when the Israelites first left Egypt, they followed Egyptian custom and didn't change the date until midnight. So it was still Nisan 14th, though a sabbath day after sundown, until midnight. Then at midnight the date changed from the 14th to the 15th. But later on, since the sabbath day began at sundown, the custom of changing the date at sundown came into vogue. So instead of changing the date from the 14th to the 15th at midnight, they began to change the 14th to the 15th at sundown. Thus today, Jews celebrate passover on the 15th. But the 15th is still a sabbath day, no matter what day of the week it occurs. In that case, the gospels would not expect you to be confused about Jesus dying the same day he ate passover if passover is always eaten on a sabbath day, the 1st day of unleavened bread. In addition to that, since the Israelites left an hour after passover on the 15th, Jesus would have been arrested on the 15th,.
That being the case, that afternoon there was a celebration at the temple at the festival. Thus John 18:28 is a reference to that afternoon meal, the festival of unleavened bread. So when he says the Jews didn't want to defile themselves so they could eat passover, you are right, this was a special passover week meal at the temple that day. But this confirms that Jesus was arrested on the 15th. Very simple.
After we get to this point, we can step back and get specific and clear. Jesus must be in the grve for three nights. Matthew 12:40. That means he must die on a Thursday.
John indicates it was a preparation day but not a Friday, but a preparation for passover. This means it was a preparation day for one of the passover sabbath days and not Friday. There were two high-sabbaths of passover week, the 15th and the 21st; and thus two preparation for passover sabbaths, the 14th and the 20th. Since Jesus wasn't arrested until the 15th, the only other day John 19:14 could be in reference to for "preparation for passover" is the 20th. The only question is, was the 20th a Thursday? Answer: Yes.
Finally, looking at the original Greek, John does not say his trial was on the day of preparation for passover, but on the day BEFORE preparation for passover. That is, his trial was on "BUT PREPARATION for passover." When "but" is used with a division of the day or a watch of the day, it means just before. For instance, at John 13:33 John indicates Judas left "but night." That is not a reference to it simply being nighttime when Judas left. But when "night" is understood to be reference to the night watch, then "but night" is a reference to just before that watch.
Likewise, as already noted, "but early" is a reference to just before the early evening watch at John 18:28 and at Mark 16:9 "but early" is a reference to just before the early morning watch, meaning Jesus was resurrected just before 3 a.m. The early morning watch was from 3 a.m. to sunrise.
"But morrow" is the Jewish equivalent to "just before nightfall" which is a reference to our afternoon period. So their "before night" period is our "after noon" period. John 19:14 simply substitutes a specific day for the afternoon before the next day so that John 19:14's reference to It was BUT preparation for passover" means it was the afternoon before preparation for the passover high-sabbath [of the 20th]. Keeping in mind, again, that his trial has to occur at noon the day before his death when darkness begins at noon.
CONCLUSION: There is absolute harmony between John and the synoptic gospels when you date Jesus' death correctly on Thursday, Nisan 20th, preparation for the passover sabbath of the 21st, the 7th day of unleavened bread.
The Passover is and will only be eaten after the 7th day Sabbath has concluded, and in the evening when Abib 15 starts is the time of Preparation, cooking, consuming of the Passover which we know is eaten at night. Unlike the Jews calendar governed by the astrons, Our Father's calendar is perpetual and does not roam to and fro in days
@@sergeeusee Historically, the lambs were killed at 3 p.m. on the 14th.
Matthew 28:1 Opse de sabbaton = But after [the] sabbaths. Sabbaton (with an omega) is a plural form, indicating there were TWO sabbaths.
Mark 16:1-2 says: And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb when the sun had risen.
Luke 23:54 to 24:1 says: It was the day of Preparation, and the sabbath was beginning. The women who had come with him from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid; then they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the sabbath they rested according to the commandment. But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices which they had prepared.
So, there was A sabbath -- but not the weekly sabbath (rather, it was "a high day" according to John 19:31) -- being the 15th day of Nisan/Abib, which follows the 14th day of Nisan/Abib (the day on which they prepare for the 1st of 7 ANNUAL SABBATHS), and it was on this annual "high day" sabbath [15 Nisan] that they rested BEFORE purchasing the spices with which they intended to anoint Jesus. They purchased the spices, therefore, on the 16th day of Nisan/Abib. And then "On the sabbath they rested according to the commandment" [Luke], this referring to one of the Ten Commandments: to honor the Sabbath Day to keep it holy -- the weekly sabbath.
The only scheme that fits all these details has it thusly (and remember, days begin and end at sunset):
Nisan 14 = the 4th day of the week: the Day of Preparation for the 1st Annual Sabbath = Crucifixion & entombment
Nisan 15 = the 5th day of the week: the 1st annual sabbath, the one preceding the purchase of the spices
Nisan 16 = the 6th day of the week: the day on which Mary Magdalene (et al.) bought the spices
Nisan 17 = the 7th day of the week: the Ten Commandments day of rest
Nisan 18 = the 1st day of the week: "at early dawn" (when half the day was over) Mary Magdalene (et al.) go to the tomb with the spices they had purchased on the day between the annual sabbath and the weekly sabbath.
They didn't witness the Resurrection -- the dead body becoming revivified -- since the Resurrection had already occurred 12 hours before. He was entombed just before sunset and came OUT of the tomb also just before sunset.
Unlike the Jubilees calendar used by the Essenes, where every year begins on the same day of the week (the 4th day, the day on which the Sun and Moon were created), the mainstream Jews used a luni-solar calendar akin to the one still in use today, and just last year the sequence of days enumerated above were repeated, with 14 Nisan being on Weekday #4 (i.e. sunset Tuesday [7 April] through sunset Wednesday [8 April], etc.). A Jew would rest on the next day -- sunset Wednesday through sunset Thursday -- even though that day was not the weekly sabbath, because it was the 1st of the 7 annual sabbath days, which are:
15 Nisan (the 1st day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread),
21 Nisan (the 7th and final day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread),
Shavuot (Pentecost, the 50th day after the weekly sabbath following Passover),
1 Tishri (the Feast of Trumpets),
10 Tishri (Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement),
15 Tishri (1st day of the Feast of Tabernacles), and
22 Tishri (the day following the last [7th] day of the Feast of Tabernacles).
The key is to realize that the purchase of the spices was BOTH after AND before a "sabbath" -- it was AFTER the annual sabbath of 15 Nisan, and BEFORE the weekly sabbath which in that year (as in AD 2020) was on 17 Nisan, i.e. on 16 Nisan. There had to be TWO sabbaths in the timeline, which is what the Greek word 'sabbaton' denotes, since it is a plural form -- by which I mean the "o" (if an omicron) is the singular, and (if an omega) is the plural . . . and the "o" in the 3rd word of Matthew 28:1 is indeed an omega. Translators -- like those who made the Revised Standard Version -- mistranslate that plural word as a singular ["Now after the sabbath"], when it is plainly spelled with an omega, not an omicron. The Langenscheidt Pocket Greek Dictionary says that sabbaton [with an omicron] means "sabbath" (which is true), but then goes on to say that the plural form (which would have an omega instead of an omicron) means "week" rather than the simple plural of sabbath: i.e. "sabbaths."
Thus, there had to have been TWO days of preparation, since there were two sabbaths to deal with: 14 Nisan [sunset Tuesday through sunset Wednesday], the Day of Preparation for the 1st day of the week-long Feast of Unleavened Bread, which was the 1st of 7 annual sabbaths, and 16 Nisan [sunset Thursday through sunset Friday], the day on which they had to prepare for the weekly sabbath day, the one referenced in the Ten Commandments . . . the day on which Mary and the others purchased the spices, indeed the ONLY time during which they could have done so, as they could not have purchased them either the day BEFORE or AFTER.
It would have been nice if at least one gospel had explicitly said that they rested on the "high day" sabbath, THEN purchased the spices, and THEN rested on the weekly sabbath. Because people assume that the day after the Crucifixion was the weekly sabbath day, they wrongly assume that Jesus was crucified on Good Friday. That misstep forces them to come up with convoluted ways of explaining away the Sign of Jonah -- 3 days and 3 nights -- when they can only fit in half the time, by also wrongly assuming the Resurrection was at Dawn of Easter Sunday rather than at the same just-before-sunset time of the weekly sabbath Resurrection.
No, the other sabbath (rest) was mentioned by Matthew earlier in 26:17 - the first day of Unleavened Bread (cf.Ex.12:16). This started on the 14th at evening and went to the 21 at evening (7 days). The body had to be in the tomb before sunset and the woman prepared spices and oils prior to sunset. Then they rested on the Sabbath. The 14 is the preparation for the evening that approaches. The 14th was the day they baked unleavened bread. Thus the two sabbaths were the 1st day of unleavened bread and the Saturday sabbath. This Sabbath day was different though because the 1st day of unleavened bread (no work to be done) and Passover fell on the Sabbath day. Thus John says it was a mega-Sabbath (mega-Saturday).
John 19:31 says -- using w for omega and h for eta -- that since it was Preparation [Paraskeuh], such that bodies might not remain on the cross "on the sabbath" [en tw sabbatw], "for the day of that sabbath was great" [hn gar megalh h hmera ekeinou tou sabbatou], the Jews asked Pilate . . . etc. etc.
There are two kinds of sabbaths; the WEEKLY sabbath day (i.e. every 7th day of the week), and the 7 ANNUAL rest-days [i.e. sabbath days], which I listed in my earlier post, and shall re-list here:
15 Nisan (the 1st day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread),
21 Nisan (the 7th and final day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread),
Shavuot (Pentecost, the 50th day after the weekly sabbath following Passover),
1 Tishri (the Feast of Trumpets),
10 Tishri (Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement),
15 Tishri (1st day of the Feast of Tabernacles), and
22 Tishri (the day following the last [7th] day of the Feast of Tabernacles).
Nowhere does it say that the day after the Passover -- i.e. the day after 14 Nisan, the day of Preparation -- was the weekly sabbath. Passover is on 14 Nisan; the next day is 15 Nisan, the 1st of the 7 annual sabbath days. These seven annual sabbath days are "great" [megalh] because they are the seven days above and beyond the ordinary weekly sabbath when the Israelites are commanded to observe memorials of how God saved them from bondage in Egypt and gave them His laws.
Matthew 28:1 begins "But after [the] SABBATHS" [Opse de sabbatwn]. 'Opse' means "after" and 'sabbatwn' is the plural of 'sabbaton', and thus means "sabbaths". There were TWO sabbaths between the Day of Preparation (when Jesus was crucified and died) and the 1st day of the next 7-say week: 15 Nisan (on the 5th day of the week) and 17 Nisan (the weekly sabbath).
Mark 16:1 says that the spices were purchased by Mary Magdalene (et al.) when "the sabbath was passing" [diagenomenou tou sabbatou]. That "sabbath" was the 'megalh' sabbath, the 1st day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. They could not have purchased the spices ON the sabbath in question.
Luke 23:54 to 24:1 says: "It was the day of Preparation, and the sabbath was beginning. The women who had come with him from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid; then they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the sabbath they rested according to the commandment. But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices which they had prepared." The two words translated as "sabbath" above -- 'sabbaton' [23:54] and 'sabbaton'
[24:1] -- are not the same day; the first refers to 15 Nisan (the 1st annual 'megalh' sabbath), and the second refers to the weekly sabbath, which was on 17 Nisan that year.
They "prepared spices and ointments" [Luke 23] AFTER the sabbath had passed, and THEN "On the sabbath they rested according to the commandment" [Luke 24]. These two verses cannot be reconciled unless there were TWO sabbaths that week, with a day in between them during which the spices could be purchased and prepared.
People who believe in a Good Friday crucifixion and an Easter Sunday resurrection would have to believe that Salome and the two Marys purchased and prepared the spices after sunset of Saturday, in the evening beginning of the 1st day of the week, with Luke 24:1 referring to the resting they'd done BEFORE the purchase & preparation of the spices . . . and that doesn't make any sense!
There are years during which 15 Nisan is not only the ANNUAL sabbath day but also the WEEKLY sabbath day, sure. But there are also years during which 15 Nisan is the 5th day of the week, two days before the weekly sabbath day. On such years the day of 16 Nisan (the 2nd of the 7 days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread) is on the 6th day of the week -- a day during which someone could buy or sell spices and ointments and then prepare them, doing "work" in other words.
In such years, the Day of Preparation, 14 Nisan, is on the 4th day of the week. The only way that Jesus could have been in his tomb for the same amount of time that Jonah was in the belly of the "great fish" [DaG GaDuWL] -- a period of "three days and three nights" [Sh'LoShaH YoMiYM uWSh'LoShaH LiYLoWTh] -- was if he was entombed just before the sunset of a WEDNESDAY and resurrected just before the sunset of a SATURDAY. It doesn't make sense for Jesus to foretell his own entombment as being "the sign of Jonah" and then to mess up the simple math involved, suffering entombment for only HALF of that timeframe, from sunset of Friday to sunrise of Sunday.
Jesus is said to be "the Light of the World" . . . right? Well, the actual object that lights the world is the Sun -- the "greater light" that God is said to have created on the 4th Day of Creation. It makes not only literal sense but SYMBOLIC sense that Jesus would have his "light" extinguished on the 4th day of the week. The only reason that mainstream Christianity has a "Good Friday" tradition is because the people who thought it up were confused about the differences between weekly and annual sabbath days. Mistranslations of 'sabbatwn' [Matthew 28:1] obscured the fact that the gospels were indicating that there were two sabbaths between Jesus's death and the arrival of Mary Magdalene at the tomb.
Whether one believes that the story is true or not doesn't matter; it would equally make no sense even if it were just a story. The logic of it is ruined if Jesus says, essentially, that he would be in his tomb for 72 hours, only to actually spend just 36 hours in it. Either the Jesus of this story doesn't know how to count, or the theologians who try to make sense of the timeline can't read the text in a straightforward manner.
@@patricktilton5377 In trying to cram 72 hours in for the burial you mess everything up. Nowhere does it say they prepared spices after any sabbath. In Luke the sabbath was nearing - it had not arrived yet. The grammar and context are clear. Luke says it was the day of preparation when the sabbath (Saturday) was approaching. Thus it was still Friday. It then says that they followed Joseph and saw the tomb and where the body was laid (all still on Friday). Then they left to go prepare spices (Friday). Then it says "On the sabbath they rested." Pretty straight forward in Greek.
Here it is Luke 23:54 καὶ ἡμέρα ἦν Παρασκευῆς, καὶ σάββατον ἐπέφωσκεν. "And it was the day of preparation and the sabbath was dawning." You can't have the sabbath and the preparation day at the same time. It is clear it is the preparation day, the sabbath is dawning and the sabbath arrives and they rest - AFTER they had prepared the spices.
Having the first sabbath (v.54) different from the sabbath in (v.1) is fine since the 14th (Friday evening) was the first day of Unleavened Bread (Cf.Ex.12:18). The woman still prepared the spices before this sabbath. It just happened that the 1st of unleavened bread begins on 14th that evening and continues into the 15th (the weekly sabbath - Saturday) and to the 21 at evening (7 days evening to evening).
Thus Matthew 28:1 and 26:17 (Two sabbaths). Matt.26:17 takes place on the 14th at sunset. Here is the Greek v.17a - Τῇ δὲ πρώτῃ τῶν ἀζύμων προσῆλθον - "Now on the first of unleavened bread..." Then 26:20 says "now late evening had arrived..." and 26:31 says - "This night you will fall away because of me..." (speaking to Peter). This whole section takes place on the 14th (including the arrest still at night and then in morning before Pilate and his crucifixion). All on the 14th because as Ex.12:18 says - "In the first month, from the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, you will eat bread made without yeast until the twenty-first day of the month in the evening." Each day begins with the night not the day.
The funny thing is no matter if you start the feast at the beginning of the day (night -14th) or and the end of it (14th/15th) it still works for Friday. The Passover lamb was to be killed "between the evenings" - Literal Hebrew in Ex.12:6. This has had many rabbis interpret it differently since it allows for flexibility in the time of sacrificing at the end of the day on the 14th (14th/15th). As you can see the the 1st evening was the 14th (Unleavened Bread) and the second evening was the 14th/15th (Passover). Or both the fell on the 14th/15th. Either way it does not matter - you have two sabbaths either on Friday and Saturday or both land on the Saturday.
Some Rabbis took the nighttime (15th) and divided it into two evenings (there were different takes on this but they started at sunset 14/15). Others, divided the last part of the day (daytime 14th) and the first part of the day (the 15th) into two evenings. Thus, you could start to sacrifice the lambs during the part of the day as the sun started to set (that is when it starts to sink past noon on the 14th).
Anyway, there is no problem with a Friday crucifixion and a Sunday resurrection. Forcing the idiom of 3 days and 3 nights to be exact only makes it all the worse. When in fact that is not how the practical side of festivals worked nor how literary devices work.
Also, you must remember that preparing food items, for the feast, was allowed. Spices and oils for Jesus's body (the Lamb Sacrifice) is not violating the law particularly at the end of the 1st of unleavened bread if the first pattern above is used where the first evening of the 14th was the beginning of the first of unleavened bread. And if it is on the 14/15 then is does not matter as well.
You INTERPRET the word "sabbath" (in your quote from Luke) as Saturday (in brackets), insisting that it can only be referring to the weekly sabbath. You're just plain wrong. The day after 14 Nisan (the day of Preparation) is ALWAYS a "sabbath" -- it is 15 Nisan, the first of the seven annual sabbath days in the sacred calendar of the Jews. In some years it is, indeed ALSO the weekly sabbath, but it is as often on a Thursday -- i.e. sunset Wednesday to sunset Thursday -- as it was just over a year ago, when 15 Nisan AM 5780 corresponded to 8 April AD 2020, a THURSDAY. The Passover just past had 15 Nisan AM 5781 corresponding to 28 March 2021, a SUNDAY. Next year, 15 Nisan AM 5782 will correspond to 16 April 2022, which will be a SATURDAY -- i.e. that ANNUAL sabbath day will also be the WEEKLY sabbath day.
But there's no way anybody can fit "3 days and 3 nights" into such a timeframe, where 14 Nisan is on a Friday. In Matthew [28:6] an angel of the Lord tells the two Marys at the tomb that "He [Jesus] is not here, for he was raised as he said." In that same gospel Jesus is quoted telling "some of the scribes and Pharisees" seeking a sign from him that "no sign shall be given to [them] except the sign of the prophet Jonah. Foe as Jonah was THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of man be THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS in the heart of the earth" [Matthew 12:39-40].
The angel later tells Mary Magdalene and the other Mary that Jesus was raised "AS HE SAID" -- that is, after 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth. NOT two nights and one day, which is what the traditional Good Friday-to-Easter Sunday interpretation calls for. Dismissing this plain statement citing the Sign of Jonah as some weird "idiom" is the ONLY way to justify clinging to a factually bogus tradition. The 72-hour period begins just before sunset on a Wednesday and ends just before the sunset of Saturday -- that's the only way to fit the 3 days and 3 nights Jesus supposedly gave as his only Sign that he was who he was.
I'm not arguing that Jesus ever even existed, or that the Gospels are True and works of History. I'm saying that even if it's only just a STORY, it doesn't make sense for the writer(s) to quote Jesus foretelling his soon upcoming period of entombment -- "three days and three nights" = "the sign of the prophet Jonah" -- and then to portray the events unfolding in a timeline that cannot fit in with this prediction, only to then have an "angel of the Lord" affirm that Jesus rose "as he said" he would -- AFTER 3 DAYS AND NIGHTS. This Jesus character is either being portrayed as a fool who can't count, or a liar who can't predict something with the accuracy he purports. Only a Wednesday sunset-through-Saturday sunset timeline fits the details. The original text doesn't use words like "Wednesday" or "Friday" or "Saturday" . . . and when it does use "sabbath" we can't be 100% certain that the weekly sabbath is what's meant, since the day after Passover/Preparation is the first of seven annual "sabbath" days.
"Sabbath" means both 'seven' and 'rest', upon which no work is to be done. Every SEVENTH day (from sunset of Friday to sunset of Saturday) is the weekly sabbath, and SEVEN "high" or "great" sabbath days are reserved throughout the sacred year, starting with 15 Nisan and ending with 22 Tishri, in the ecclesiastical calendar.
@@patricktilton5377 I agree that if you take the 3 days and three nights literally it causes problems. It makes sense if the writers took it as an idiom. And I showed where how these things can be flexible. During the time of Jesus they sacrificed, according to the Rabbis starting at 2:30 pm on the 14th. The somewhat ambiguous meaning of "between the evenings." left room for all kinds of flexible interpretations.
This is why in Matthew and Mark they refer to the 1st of unleavened bread as the 14th because that is the preparation day for the 7 days of eating unleavened bread which Ex. told you to do. You have to remove all leaven from the houses and prepare for the Passover on the 14th.
Jesus elsewhere says that on the third day he will rise not after. So we can attribute errors if we want (fine by me) or we can assume that there was some flexibility going on and take the 3 days and nights as an idiom - partial days count as full days. Either way it is clear from the text that preparation day was Friday (14th) before the weekly sabbath (15th). The 14th/15th had both unleavened bread and Passover fall on it. It was thus a mega-Sabbath. Thus on the 16th Matthew could say after the Sabbaths. It works out that way. So I don't see a problem here with the day of his death but I do see one for the time (John vs Mark).
There were Different Calanders ? and Faith and a Personal relationship is Good .There is a Last Supper and A Passover .
If Jesus’s sign was like Jonah he did not die on the cross.
Matthew 7:22-23
On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
He was a Jew and just like the Muslims he worshipped one God. Show me a verse in your bible that Jesus says worship me. No where, that’s why Jesus(pbuh) won’t say this to the Jews or Muslims but to the CHRISTIANS that’s believe in the trinity.
There was several Sabbaths n high days in Bible. Crucified Wednesday
Does anyone know if IP has covered the different theories of time? I’ve been hearing that they may be important in the cosmological argument, but I don’t know where a good explanation is.
I think the best explanation that I have heard on the difference of time is that John use the roman time measurement system.
While I don’t have a problem with the day Yeshua died, I do with the day he was resurrected. Here’s why. The bible says that Yeshua was in the grave for three days. If he arose on the first day of the week (i.e. Sunday), that’s not three days in the grave. He most likely died on Friday afternoon and was buried before sunset, the start of the Jewish day. No matter, which way you slice it arising Sunday morning is not three days in the grave. That would suggest Yeshua instead arose on a Tuesday morning. And yes I am a Christian. (I call him Yeshua instead of Jesus as that is his Jewish name.)
Have you ever heard of inclusive or enclusive?
He also made a video about this one; how long was Jesus dead?

@@wadp5962 Not sure if I agree by the way. I was taught Jesus died on a Wednesday
The most important piece of information around the contradiction is John 19:14 says, "Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover," but IP says John probably doesn't actually mean it was the day of Preparation of the Passover meal but during the Passover week. This is changing the text to reconcile it; maybe it is what was meant or actually happened, but it requires changing the text and quote mining to arrive at this conclusion. There's a contraction there even if it was just a mistake by the author or by a later scribe. Instead of trying to resolve these contractions, wouldn't it be better to just accept that there are mistakes and errors in the books? Would acknowledging a contradiction or mistake cause a loss of belief in Jesus?
Sadly this cant be the solution, because if Jesus ate the passover meal with his disciple the day before, the next day automatically would be an High Shabbat. (see also Leviticus 23). So there would be no Preperation Day. No Question i struggle more with.
Hey IP what do you read for fun? Do you read any fiction? If so, what books?
He's a WW2 enthusiast, has said in other videos
I wonder if taking into consideration that jews considered the start of a new day the evening before, would help to understand this "mistake" ..like for us a day would be from 00.00 to 00.00 ,but their day began with the sunset and finished with sunset
This is another error that Our Father has allowed to happen, yet those who believe HIS words can be confident when he says 'there are 12 hours in the day (light) and then comes night. Here is our 24 hour period not governed by any sunrise or sunset. 6p.m to 6.pm is a full 24 hour day therefore the Sabbath begins at 6p.m. Friday and ends at 6.p.m Saturday Evening. Midnight is the middle of the 12 hour night period which means 6 hours prior there had to be a start.

Jesus was a Jew and submits to the only God (the father, Illah, Allah) why would he introduce a trinity? That’s because Jesus never said such a thing but Paul did.
Mark 12:29
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one

Jesus never said he's God and he prayed to the father (Allah, Illah, the father). Can you imagine a "god" worshiping another god? That's not something a "god" does, Jesus was a Jew and like the Muslims they worship one God.
Don't be mislead by these Christians that don't even look at the Hebrew manuscripts to see what Jesus actually said.

Let's begin with this false teaching of Friday to a Sunday resurrection of how it does NOT make sense. = 2Tim.2:18. ➡️If Jesus was buried Friday evening before the weekly Sabbath by Joseph of Armithaea in Matthew 27:57-61 & Luke 23:50-55 as so many say, then why did they miss a crucial part of Luke 23:54 (Make sure you see Luke 23:54 in the International Standard Version of Bible Gateway where it says "...the Sabbath was just beginning" & Holman Christian Standard Bible footnotes.)? Notice in Luke 23:54 = it says "and the sabbath drew on."; what does this mean? According to the 1984 New Concise Webster's Dictionary; it states "Drew = to pull or drag" while "On = over and in contact with". So if the weekly Sabbath was beginning, then how could they prepare spices in verse 56? Even Sunday morning at dawn in buying spices don't make sense; read again Matt.28:1, Mark 16:2 (rising of the sun), Luke 24:1, John 20:1(dark). Why did people also leave out Matt.27:63 & Mark 8:31 = "After 3 days I will rise again", John 2:19-21 ="In 3 days I will rise again" & Luke 24:46 = "the 3rd day" which all point forward to Matt.12:40? Why do people also leave out Dan.9:27 that says "Jesus died in the middle of the week."?

Daniel 9:27 says Jesus died in the middle of the week. Read Lev. 23:5 says in the evening of the 14th is Passover while the 15th in the evening is a holy convocation in Lev.23:6-7. Clue is in Mark 14:1-2 (➡️Mark 14:2 refers to the 1st Holy Day of Feast of Unleavened Bread) where it talks about both. Passover is with wine and Unleavened Bread & is NOT a holy day; see Matt.26:17-29 which was in the evening. Now read Luke 22:1,7-19, it still talks about Passover in Luke 23:17. Luke 23:54 says Jesus died at 3pm on Wednesday on Passover. ➡️Now look at John 19:31 where it talks about Preparation (Passover) & the Sabbath High Day which would be The 1st Day of Unleavened Bread; see Lev.23:7. On Wednesday evening, Joseph of Armithaea took the body of Jesus & put him in the sepulchre in Matt.27:57-61, Mark 15:43-47, Luke 23:50-54 ("Sabbath drew on" : 1984 New Concise Webster's Dictionary says Drew = to pull or drag while On = over and in contact with)& John 19:38-42.
*On Thursday of the Feast of Unleavened Bread- the High Sabbath Day, the chief priests and Pharisees went to Pilate = Matt.27:62-66.
*On Friday: women bought spices in Mark 16:1 and prepared them before the weekly Sabbath in Luke 23:56.
* On Saturday weekly Sabbath: women rested according to the commandment in Luke 23:56.
Saturday evening Jesus was resurrected at the same time He was put in the grave. ➡️Clue: Matt.28:13
Matthew 12:40 = true sign of Messiahship
Thursday, Friday, Saturday = 3 days
Wednesday Night, Thursday Night, Friday Night = 3 nights
* On Sunday of Matt.28:1-6, it just reveals that Jesus was NOT in the grave even though the stone was rolled away: logical sense when Jesus was resurrected on Saturday evening, for He is LORD of the Sabbath. Mark 16:9 has the comma in the wrong spot, you would know this in the Greek where there was no punctuation in it.

1st of all Luke 24:1-3 says the women found the stone rolled away & Christ's body wasn't there.
2ndly Luke 24:1-3 doesn't say He rose early, in the morning; it says He wasn't there.
3rdly Luke 24:21 says "today is the third day since these things have happened."
What does these mean by "these things"? They didn't say specifically that it was the third day since Jesus died. It appears they're talking about things that happened over multiple days (v.14 says "they talked together of all these things which had happened"). All these things could be Christ's burial, the sealing of the tomb, placing the guard, etc. This could easily mean that "this is the third day" from the ending point of "all these things" which could be considered Wednesday to Sunday. Similarly, it doesn't sound like they're giving an "exact" time reference since they're talking about all the things that have happened which occurred on multiple days.
I think there are some areas that seem off IP with your presentation.
1. You are confusing High Sabbath with the usual Saturday Sabbath. If you look into it further, high sabbath fell on Thursday that year and is one of several every year (7 I think).
2. The day of preparation does refer to Friday as they were meant to prepare for Saturday Sabbath (as per custom and for Passover)
3. Jesus was the Passover Lamb so his death would have been the culmination of Passover. The last Supper was simply the first meal leading to the big one.
4. Of course BTW, that would mean that Jesus died on Wednesday afternoon to fulfil the 3 nights and 3 days, the sign of Jonah. Thursday being the High Sabbath, Friday, being the day the women embalmed him and the resurrection taking place Saturday afternoon (late). All fits nicely then.
You are correct @remainhumble. Alot of people don't take into account the high Sabbath or the sign of Jonah
Is that 3 days in the grave though? Could you do a video addressing how many days and nights that equals for Christ to be in the grave?

@@InspiringPhilosophy what video was it
As to the priests worry of defilement. It matters not what was technically true but what they believed to be true. These guys added all kinds of things to what was necessary. The Hagigah was just a Festival (Passover) Offering not a meal they had to eat. And it was during the Passover anyway! Again this is based on your faulty rendering of John 13:1 as a meal not the Feast.
I hope you guys know you are admitting that Jesus did not die on Passover when the Lambs were being slaughtered.. the church teaches that Jesus died as our Passover lamb and that he died at the same time as the Passover lambs.. but NT clearly show this is not true and that Jesus could not be a Passover lamb sacrifice..
Just like this video proves..
Also there is the issue for a sacrifice to be acceptable it must be with out blemish which Jesu would be excluded because he was beaten.
Also the blood of the sacrifice must be applied to the alter.. which priest did that..
Another issue is G-d is against human sacrifice..
Please explain why you still think G-d would accept human sacrifice and why you think Jesus was a Passover lamb sacrifice even though he was a man..
Pretty sure that Jesus died the day before Passover, so the Lamb of God was sacrificed on the same day as the sacrificial Passover Lamb
Day of crucifixion was Wednesday. No doubt about it. All the proofs are in the scripture itself. Just do your homework more thoroughly

But you're right! It was in the middle of the week. The spring of AD 31. There was also a lunar eclipse that evening.

Now ... there is nothing left to hang on.
Thank you.
For your evaluation....
Israel .... (meaning of the name)
I am going to answer all your questions, as soon as you can draw a benefit from it for your soul... For what helps you to the maturity of your souls is the receiving of the answer that bridges the knowledge, which must be an expansion of your cognition, it must fill a space in your knowledge. It should not only assuage a curiosity, therefore, it cannot be a worldly question.
Your thinking to this extent is correct in that each name has its meaning, but you are not capable to fathom this, only then, when you bring one of your own names in connection with the name of a people, whose name I Myself gave.
Then, first you have to become aware of what I Myself have placed into this name. That I chose a people, to introduce Myself amidst of a people to the world as their God and Creator...that I chose a people to embody Myself in. Therefore, I am speaking of the people of Israel, the people, who recognized only one God, and that is why I abided with them. I was not talking about for whom I was not the Saviour Jesus Christ...but I spoke of those instead of them, who acknowledged me, who could call themselves true Israelites, because I was a true Israelite and could rightfully take on this name Myself, because I arose out of the tribe of David, the ancient father of those that believed in Me and therefore followed Me.
Though everyone called themselves Jew, but were more or less without belief, their belief was - because they had no love - not a living one, and although in the temple they taught the faith in one God, but they themselves were without faith... And therefore will the People of Israel not consist of those whom you term Jews, on the contrary, to be understood as those who have a living faith and acknowledge Me; I Who appeared as Jew, because I was a real Israelite. And now again the people who, with all zeal, represent Me, who are taught directly by Me, who promote one spiritual well being and therefore, as well belong to My Israelites, to the people of Israel, who in Me recognize their Saviour and Redeemer, who feel connected to Me, who I can speak to at all times. Although it may not happen directly, yet they hear me indirectly. Therefore, they belong to My messengers who carry the gospel into the world. Consequently, I still speak to My People of Israel and denote those, who confess in their acceptance one God, who acknowledge only one God, Who embodied Himself in Jesus.
For it is the works of redemption in which you people must believe, in order to also find deliverance. For this, the one God descended to earth and took on flesh. Yet, He had to prevail against all attacks. For He came unto His own world, and His own did not except him. He suffered and died for the people, and they did not recognized Him because their minds were darkened and did not want to let go of their temple statutes, against which He fought in the fields. And once again we have come this far that He is not being recognized. Again the darkness is so great that it is hard to find the right faith in Me, because the hatred is increasing against the Jews, the closer we come to the end. And everyone who represents Me before the world I will bless, and speak to My people in whichever form it may be.
Amen
