RISE "THE THIRD DAY"
When 'day' is used on its own of a weekday it refers to the whole 24
hour day as in Genesis 1:5 ('... And the evening and the morning were
the first day').

Matthew 16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples,
how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders
and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the
third day.
Matthew 17:23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall
be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
Matthew 20:19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge,
and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
Mark 9:31 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man
is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that
he is killed, he shall rise the third day.
Mark 10:34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit
upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
Luke 9:22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected
of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised
the third day.
Luke 24:7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful
men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
Luke 24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ
to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
Acts 10:40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him
openly;
1 Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the
third day according to the scriptures:

Matthew 27:62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation,
the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, 63 Saying, Sir,
we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three
days I will rise again. 64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made
sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and
steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the
last error shall be worse than the first. 65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have
a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. 66 So they went, and made
the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

Luke 18:33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the
third day he will rise again.
Since hypothetically, the phrase 'the first day he will rise' would not mean
he rose the same day that he was buried but the day after, so 'the
third day he will rise' has to mean he will rise the third day after
after he was buried.

Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these
things were done.

Mark 8:31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many
things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes,
and be killed, and after three days rise again.
Sunday is the second day after Friday. There is no way in which
the phrase 'after three days' could be construed to mean he died on
Friday and rose on Sunday.

THE LORD AROSE BEFORE DAYBREAK
Mark 16:2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came
unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. 3 And they said among themselves,
Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? 4 And when
they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right
side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. 6 And he
saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was
crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid
him.
THE LORD AND HIS DISCIPLES ATE THE REGULAR PASSOVER
Luke 22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this
passover with you before I suffer:
Matthew 26:17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples
came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee
to eat the passover?
Mark 14:12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover,
his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that
thou mayest eat the passover?
Mark 14:14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house,
The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the
passover with my disciples?
Luke 22:7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover
must be killed. 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare
us the passover, that we may eat. 11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of
the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I
shall eat the passover with my disciples?
John 18:28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and
it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest
they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
HIGH DAYS TO BE SACRED
John 19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the
bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath
day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken,
and that they might be taken away.
SACREDNESS OF HIGH DAYS IGNORED
Matthew 26:2 [Jesus said] Ye know that after two days is the feast of the
passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. 3 Then assembled
together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people,
unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4 And
consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill
him. 5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar
among the people.
Luke 22:1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is
called the Passover. 2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they
might kill him; for they feared the people. 3 Then entered
Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 4
And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how
he might betray him unto them. 5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give
him money. 6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him
unto them in the absence of the multitude.
v.7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover
must be killed.
47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas,
one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with
a kiss?
52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and
the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief,
with swords and staves? 53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye
stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the
power of darkness.
John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood
and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 43
... there was a division among the people because of him. 44 And some
of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and
they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? 46 The officers
answered, Never man spake like this man.
Acts 12:2 And he [Herod] killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take
Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.) 4 And
when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four
quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after the Passover
to bring him forth to the people. 5 Peter therefore was kept in prison
...
PREPARATION DAYS
John 13:29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus
had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the
feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
Matthew 27:62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the
preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive,
After three days I will rise again. 64 Command therefore that the sepulchre
be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal
him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last
error shall be worse than the first.
Mark 15:42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation,
that is, the day before the sabbath,
Luke 23:54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
John 19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the
sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
John 19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the
bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath
day was a high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might
be broken, and that they might be taken away.
John 19:42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’
preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
