Ellen Gould White
What does Ellen White write about...
Ellen Gould White über: "What does Ellen White say about which day of the week the crucifixion of Jesus was, and is it possible that the crucifixion was on a Thursday, then that Friday the 15th never was, so that the first day of the unleavened bread, which is of high purity, and we are in the year 31 AD, meaning that the 15th would be Friday and the Sabbath day the 16th, and then would Jesus really not have been in the garden on literal days, could it be further covered, or also?"
Answer
The cited passages confirm the traditional view that Jesus was crucified on the preparation day before the Sabbath, rested in the tomb on the Sabbath, and rose on the first day of the week. The question of a possible Thursday crucifixion and the precise calculation of \"three days and three nights\" in the year AD 31 is not directly addressed in these citations. Ellen White refers to the 14th of Nisan as the day of the Passover meal and the crucifixion, without specifically addressing the weekday calculation or the year 31.
The Sabbath Was Approaching
»They would not have allowed his body to remain on the cross during the Sabbath at any price. The Sabbath was now approaching, and it would have been a violation of its holiness if the dead bodies had been left on the cross.«
The Disciples Rested on the Sabbath
»The disciples rested on the Sabbath and mourned the death of their Lord, while Jesus, the King of Glory, lay in the tomb.«
Early in the Morning on the First Day of the Week
»Early in the morning on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, holy women came to the tomb and brought fragrant spices to anoint the body of Jesus. They found that the heavy stone had been rolled away from the entrance of the tomb and that the body of Jesus was not there.«
On the 14th Day of the First Jewish Month
»On the 14th day of the first Jewish month, on the same day and month that for fifteen centuries the Passover lamb had been slaughtered, Christ ate the Passover with his disciples and instituted that feast, which considered his own death as \"the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.\" That same night he was seized by ungodly hands to be crucified and killed.«
