I hear where Y Y holds to a Friday sacrifice of Messiah.

Not to be contentious, but what helped convince me against a Friday sacrifice is these Scriptures.

Mark 16:1

Luke 23:56

These verse show that they bought the spices after a Sabbath, but the prepared the spices before a Sabbath.

I know that Feast of Unleavened bread is a Sabbath.

The only way I can make all the verses line up is if there was a nonSabbath day between 2 Sabbath days.

Wed: Sacrifice
Thus: Feast of Unleavened Bread (a Sabbath)
Fri: Women bought and prepared spices
Sat: Sabbath

Is there an error in the translations that change this accounting?

Hello Walt, I'm not sure that the ladies appearing at the tomb BOUGHT more spices on the early morning after the Sabbath as that the BROUGHT more spices. I get the sense that on the day of the crucifixion, the preparations of the body between taking down the body and the entombment was rather hastily done and the preparations of the body incomplete hence the return. As Swalchy indicated the chapter in YY goes into much greater depth.

Thursday night: Last Supper and Arrested,

Friday tried by Herod and sentenced by Pilate then executed and buried, with some preparation of the body before sunset and the beginning of

Saturday rested, also the natural weekly Sabbath which in 33CE was also the Feast of Unleavened Bread

Sunday morning the ladies (followed later by Peter and John) arrive at the tomb to complete the preparations having brought additional spices the day after the Sabbath which in 33CE was also First Fruits.

Am I missing something?
