January 22 ~ Things in the Bible not really in the Bible…and a few surprises

 

Oops of the Day  

Jesus died on Friday because the Passover Sabbath was the following Saturday.

Matthew  26:17  –  Matthew 27:62  –  John 19:31  –  Leviticus 23:24-25

Fact of the Day

No!  The 14th day of the first month was Passover.  It fell on different days each year. (Leviticus 23:5-6).  John called it a “special Sabbath.”  Sabbath does not mean seventh; it means “rest from labor”.  For example, the Feast of Trumpets was called a special sabbath because it was celebrated on the first day of the seventh month, whatever day of the week it might fall on.  Jesus died on Thursday.
