Hi GTSpeck,
Again, Matthew 28:1-6 shows that Jesus was resurrected sometime before the break of dawn on Sunday.
In determining when Jesus was resurrected we must look at several scriptures that concern His death and burial. They must all be in harmony. These scriptures specifically concern His own prophecy, the timing of the Preparation Day, the High Sabbath and the weekly Sabbath and finally the use of the spices.
-What did Jesus say about His death and resurrection?
Jesus said He would be killed and raised up on “the third day”; (Matthew 16:21, 17:23, 20:19) and that He would be raised up “after three days” (Matthew 27:63, Mark 9:31, Mark 10:34).
From these six verses we know that Jesus was resurrected “after three days” and on “the third day.” Note that this is the “third day” and not the “third night.”
If this were not clear enough, Jesus also said, “as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” This is different from the other prophecies in that this time period covers only the time He was to be in the grave and not the period between His death and resurrection. Most important, it was a SIGN that He was the Messiah!
These verses are very specific and to the point, no special interpretation is needed.
-What about the Preparation Day, the high Sabbath, and weekly Sabbath?
Jesus was crucified on the fourteenth day of the first month, Jehovah’s Passover (Leviticus 23:5). This day is also known as “the day of preparation” (John19:31). The next day was a “High Sabbath” (Leviticus 23:7, John 19:31).
The body was taken from the cross and wrapped in a clean linen cloth and laid in the tomb. (Matthew 27:59-60, Mark 15:46, Luke 23: 52). This was accomplished just before sunset and the beginning of the High Sabbath (Luke 23: 54).
On the next day, the High Sabbath, Pilate, at the urging of the chief priests and the Pharisees, gave orders to secure the grave until the third day. Their reason, Jesus had said, “After three days I am to rise again.” Note here that the order to secure the grave until the third day was from Pilate giving the order, not from the day of crucifixion. Therefore, the grave would be secure until the fourth day of death. Obviously, the chief priests and the Pharisees realized the meaning of “after three days” (Matthew 27:62-66)
-What about the spices?
The body of Jesus was wrapped with a mixture of Myrrh and aloes, about 75-100 pounds of spices before He was placed into the tomb (John 19: 39-40). All of this was witnessed by Mary Magdalene, the women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee (Matthew 27: 61, Mark 15: 47, Luke 23:49).
The next day was the High Sabbath.
The day AFTER the High Sabbath, “Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him” (Mark 16:1). They then “prepared the spices and perfumes” (Luke 23: 56)
The next day was the weekly Sabbath and on that day “they rested according to the commandment” (Luke 23: 56).
After the weekly Sabbath, the women went to the grave to refresh the spices (Mark 16:1-2) This would be the fourth day since the crucifixion and burial with the 75-100 pounds of spices. This would also be the first day that the tomb would not be secured per Pilate’s order.
-Recap
Jesus was crucified on “Preparation Day” (Wednesday) and placed into the tomb shortly before the sunset. The next day was the “high Sabbath” (Thursday) and guards were placed on the tomb (One day and one night). The day after the high Sabbath (Friday), the women bought and prepared spices (Two days and two nights). The next day was the weekly Sabbath (Saturday). This was the third day and on this day as the day was drawing to a close, Jesus was resurrected. On the third day and after 3 days and after “three days and three nights” in the tomb.
