Previous message: No subject Next message: No subject since it is used like this, it normally refers to Friday when used of them. So in John 19.14, when it mentions the PARASKEUH TOU PASCA, it is probably referring to the weekly Friday of Passover, no? Just running thoughts through my head. Sorry if I don’t really make sense. :-)Jason

It must be understood simply as ‘preparation for theFestival’.For those with Friday crucifixion scenario it really does not matter,but for those with other alternative (I am for Thursday crucifixion,rather than Wednesday), every texts with this word make sense if onesimply take it as ‘preparation (for the Festival)’. In G-John thereis one spot using the expression ‘preparation of Passover’. Here, itseems obvious that ‘Passover’ itself refers to the Festival per se.Please correct me,Oun Kwon.

  1. Leon Bible says:

    Here it is the “real” deal. If a person can read and can count and believes the Bible then there is only ONE conclusion: Passover was on Wednesday.

    Matthew 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

    Christ was dead for three full days and for three full nights. He was put in the grave Wednesday just before sunset and was resurrected at the end of Saturday at sunset. Good Friday should be changed to Good Wednesday. No statement says that He was buried Friday at sunset. This would make Him in the grave only one day and one night, proving His own words untrue (Mt. 12:40).
