🍃🕊️12/04 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️
(Days begin at sunset rather than midnight. Jesus was sentenced and died on Passover, was put in the tomb as 1st Day of Unleavened Bread was beginning (at the sun’s setting) and rose 3 days later on the 3rd holy day of Spring holy week. This third sacred day is Firstfruits, which always follows the regular weekly Sabbath of the week. So Firstfruits begins ‘saturday’ at sunset as the weekly Sabbath is ending. There are three Sabbaths - no work days - of Spring holy [qodesh - set apart] week, the first and last/7th day of Unleavened Bread, and the regular, weekly ‘saturday’ Sabbath - which is from sunset friday to sunset saturday. Jesus said he would be “in the grave for three days and three nights”. Therefore Passover that year fell upon a Wednesday.)
1 - When (the next day, thursday) the Sabbath (of 1st Unleavened Bread day) was past, Salome, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, bought spices and prepared them (during friday) for his tomb. {Then they rested during regular weekly Sabbath.} 2 And very early on the first day of the week (sunday/Firstfruits) when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. 3 And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” 4 But when they got there, they saw the stone had been rolled away. 5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right, dressed in a white robe, and they were frightened. 6 And he said to them, “Don’t be afraid. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen, he is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 Go and tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you’ll see him, just as he told you would happen.” 8 And they hurried out, not knowing what to think, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
[Some of the earliest manuscripts don’t include 16:9–20, an older ending to Mark’s account.] 9 Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10 She went to the others who had been with him and told them as they were mourning and grieving. 11 But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they didn’t believe it.
LUKE 24:1-12
1 - Then on the first day of the week, at dawn, the women went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in the body of the Lord Jesus wasn’t there. 4 While they were puzzled and wondering about it, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 The women were frightened and shied away. But the men said, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, when he was in Galilee 7 how the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and rise on the third day.” 8 And so they remembered his words, 9 and going back from the tomb they told all of this to the eleven and the others. 10 Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told it to the apostles, 11 but it seemed to them like an idle tale, and they didn’t pay any attention. 12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. And stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths off to the side. And he went away wondering.
