| Jesus ate an early-evening Passover meal with His disciples (at
the beginning of Nisan 14, Jewish reckoning) and instituted the New Covenant symbols (Matthew 26:26-28). Jesus was then betrayed by Judas, arrested and during the night brought before the high priest. |
Jesus was crucified and died around 3 p.m. (Matthew 27:46-50). This was the preparation day for the annual, not weekly, Sabbath, which began that evening (Mark 15:42; Luke 23:54; John 19:31). Jesus' body was placed in the tomb at twilight (Matthew 27:57-60). | This was the high-day Sabbath, the first day of Unleavened Bread
(John 19:31; Leviticus 23:4-7). It is described as the day after the Day of Preparation (Matthew 27:62). |
The high-day Sabbath now past, women bought and prepared spices for anointing Jesus' body (Mark 16:1; Luke 23:56). | The women rested on the weekly Sabbath, according to the Fourth
Commandment (Luke 23:56; Exodus 20:8-11). Jesus rose around sunset, exactly three
days and three nights (72 hours) after burial, to fulfill the sign of Jonah and authenticate His messiahship. |
The women brought the prepared spices early in the morning while it was still dark (Luke 24:1; John 20:1). Jesus had already risen (Matthew 28:1-6; Mark 16:2-6; Luke 24:2-3; John 20:1). |
