The Resurrection on One of the Sabbaths?
by Pmary
* The possible hidden scenes are a rash burial of a one piece linen cloth placed around Jesus' body on Wednesday the preparation (secular) day of Nisan 20th. After the high sabbath (John 19:31) of Thursday Nisan 21st, Joseph returns to the tomb with Pilate's permission on the preparation (secular) day of Friday Nisan 22nd with linen strips and a headdress, and wraps the body with aromatic spices under a guarded watch well before the weekly Sabbath. The linen strips are re-discovered neatly rolled up on the evening (end) of Saturday Nisan 23rd when Peter comes to the sepulcher. The guards quickly bring word to the priests who seek for Joseph in the holding cell knowing that he was the last person working in the tomb but he is not revealed until about 40 days later. * This narrative does not suit a Friday to Sunday chronology too well. The sign of Jonah also holds little merit if the missing Joseph was with Jesus at a time on the weekly sabbath before a Sunday resurrection.
