First day of the Week

(1/3) > >>

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering what your thoughts were concerning the day Christ rose from the dead.  In the King James, the phrase 'first day of the week' is translated from two Greek words 'mia sabbaton.'  'Mia' means 'one' or 'first' and 'sabbaton' means 'sabbath.'  Is it possible that Christ rose very late on the sabbath? 

Mat 28:1 Now it is the evening of the sabbaths. At the lighting up into one of the sabbaths came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to behold the sepulcher.

Mat 28:1  In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

I just wanted to hear your thoughts about this.

CHRIST HAD ALREADY RISEN BEFORE THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK EVEN STARTED . IF YOU READ THE SCRIPTURE PROPERLY THER SHOULD BE NO REASON THAT YOU WOULD THINK OTHERWISE.WHEN MARY MAGDELIN CAME TO THE GRAVE THE SABBATH WAS ALMOST OVER BEING THAT IT WAS EVENING WHILE IT WAS YET DARK THE BEGINNG OF THE NEXT DAY THE END OF THE SABBATH. AND THE ANGEL SAID"HE HAS ALREADY RISEN".

Thank you for writing in caps Gene, I lost my reading glasses and it was a big help.  The reason I asked the question is that the church believes Christ rose on the first day of the week, being Sunday.

Hello, Brian.

I believe the feast of unleavened bread is for seven days.  Since He was raised at the end of of this feast and the first day of the week, could this be called the eighth day?  Circumcision, which now is of the heart, and not flesh is very important to God.

Just a thought.

God bless,

Gary
