THURSDAY OF THE PASSION WEEK:
This was the first Sabbath of this week. It was the Passover and it was a High Day. John 19:31
"THE FIRST DAY OF THE FEAST" - "THE HIGH DAY" (Yom tov) - THE 15TH DAY OF NISAN.
(Our Wednesday sunset to Thursday sunset.)
THE FIRST NIGHT AND FIRST DAY IN THE TOMB.
The women present at the crucifixion rested. Luke 23:56
The chief priests and Pharisees demand Pilate seal the tomb and place a guard. Matt. 27:62-66
Note: Jesus's followers rested on the Sabbath, the High day, but didn't believe He would rise again. The chief priests and Pharisees didn't rest but remembered Jesus promised He would rise again on the third day. But mark the difference. To the holy and devout women that day was still the Sabbath. But in the case of those who had rejected “the Lord of the Sabbath,” what happens? It has been observed that, when He is on the point of leaving the Temple for the last time, our Lord, who formerly, even in that same week, before He had been finally rejected in that House, than which He was greater, had spoken of it as “My Father’s House,” now calls it “your house.” So, here again. From these rejectors of the Sabbath’s Lord, the very name of their sacred day is taken away. And the Spirit uses this long, round-about, depreciatory phrase: “the next day, that followed the day of the preparation.”
