Question 5

Where is the 5th mention of Sunday in the Bible?


Bible

Luke 23:56-24:1

"They returned and prepared spices and ointments and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment. Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulcher bringing the spices which they had prepared."

Answer

This text tells us that after Jesus died on Friday, they went home and prepared the materials needed to embalm His body. The next day, the Sabbath, they rested according to the commandment. Then on Sunday they returned to the tomb to finish their work of embalming His body. If Sunday was the new Sabbath, would they be returning to do work on it?
