Today is Wednesday of Passion week. Just a note... to make note... that it was actually on Wednesday that Christ was crucified... not Friday.
During the Holy Week of Passover, the Passover celebration day was on Thursday, and still is to this day if you care to check a calendar that lists the Jewish holidays.
During the Passover week there were actually two "Sabbaths" celebrated. The day of the Passover was considered the first Sabbath and the following Saturday was considered the Second Sabbath of the week.
Most modern translations and translators are totally unaware of this and Luke 6:1, is a good example of the confusion.
That is not a reference to the "second" Saturday of the month, but rather a reference to the week that has the two Sabbaths.
The "Preparation" day for the Passover was Wednesday before the Thursday Passover celebration. That should be clear enough.
The disciples were told to get ready for the "Preparation Day" before the upper room experience... therefore on Tuesday evening, actually Wednesday as the Jewish day started at sundown not sunrise or midnight, that the disciples and Christ shared the Last Supper.
Christ was then Crucified on Wednesday morning after the long evening of events.
He was then taken off the cross and buried before sundown, which was Thursday, the Passover and the First Sabbath of the week.
Christ was then in the ground all of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday... three days and three nights... as the scripture says.
He arose from the dead after sundown Saturday night, Sunday morning... long before the sun arose.
Just a little reminder this day that the Word of God is true.
