1 Corinthians 15:4
4
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: (1 Corinthians 15:4)
. That he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
Among the Jews the day was reckoned from evening to evening (see
Lev. 23:32
32
It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath. (Leviticus 23:32)
) though this reckoning was sometimes varied. In popular language a part of a day was reckoned for the whole. The Saviour was buried at the close of the day, just before the Sabbath began. He remained in the tomb during the whole of the Sabbath, which ended the following evening. Another day then began, and when the night of this day passed and its morning came he rose from the dead. Though but a short time of the first day was spent in the grave, it is still reckoned according to Jewish usage as the first day of his burial, the Sabbath being the second, and the next day the third.
