15. Burial Wednesday about sunset (Mt: 27:57-66; Mk. 15:42-47; Lk.
23:50-56; Jn. 19:38-42)
M - Wednesday sunset to Thursday sunset. This was the high Sabbath,
not the regular weekly Sabbath (Mt. 27:62)
N - (Mt 27:63, fulfilled, Mt 12:40) This showed how the Jews understood the
three days and three nights of Mt. 12:40, proving the crucifixion
could not possible have been on Friday and the resurrection one
day and one night after His death
(Page 69, column 1, letter k)
K - This phrase ("be raised the third day" Lk. 9:22d) is used 11 times in
connection with His resurrection (Mt. 16:21; 17:23; 20:19; Mk. 9:31;
10:34; Lk. 9:22; 18:33; 24:7; Acts 10:40; 1 Cor.. 15:4). In Mk 8:31 it
is "AFTER THREE DAYS" and in Mt. 12:40 (see notes there) the time
was to be three full days and three full nights. The phrase "third
day" means three full days and three full nights because:
1. When days and nights are both mentioned, then it cannot be parts of
three days, but full days and nights (Esther 4:16 with 5:1; 1 Sam. 30:12 with
13, Jonah 1:7 with Mt. 12:40). Also see Rev 11:9-11
2. The Jews understood Christ to mean "after three days" or three full days
and three full nights (Mt 27:63), hence the soldiers had orders to
guard the tomb at least that long
3. It was the custom to mourn for the dead three full days and nights,
called "days of weeping" which were followed by four "days of lamentation",
thus making seven days (Gen. 27:41; 50:10; 1 Sam 31:13; Job 2:13). According
to rabbinical notion the spirit wandered about the sepulchre for three
days hoping to re-enter the body, but when corruption set in the spirit
left. This was believed to be on the fourth day when the loud lamentations began.
Hence, on the fourth day Lazarus was supposed to stink (Jn 11:39)
4. Herodotus testifies that embalmment did not take place until after three
three days when the spirit was supposed to be gone (Herod. ii. 86-89).
This is why the women were taking sweet spices to anoint Jesus
(Mk. 16:1; Lk. 24:1)
5. The Jews did not accept evidence as to the identification of a dead body
after three days, for corruption took place quickly in the East. Hence,
this period of three full days and three full nights was wanted by God,
so as to preclude all doubt that death had actually taken place, and shut
out all suggestion that Christ might have been in a trance. Jews would
legally conclude His death, should He remain dead the full three days and three
nights
