I can see no sound alternative, nor does any alternative seem appropriate. What better day for High Rebellion to rear its head than the thirteenth day of the first month?

With regard to apparent contradictions, some find no such kinds of resolution, which are beyond the scope of this study. <br /><br />You are in agreement with the 13th day being the day of our Lord's arrest?

There's no other honest way to see it.”<br /><br />Not too sure I agree with your detective work in this instance, brother. I believe there are indeed ‘other honest ways’ to see it. For example, whenever the apparently conflicting timeline of events during the week of Messiah’s Sacrifice is tabled for examination, Luke 22:7 is a commonly highlighted verse. But here’s the problem – English translations (in the main) of that verse have rendered things thus:<br /><br />THEN CAME THE DAY of Unleavened Bread…<br /><br />This apparent rigidity stands between us and a seamlessly reconciled understanding of the timeline as provided in the other Gospels. However, the rigidity begins to evaporate once we inspect the Greek rendering of the same verse:<br /><br />Came YET the day of the unfermenteds…<br /><br />‘Yet’ being G1161 δέ – A primary particle (adversative or CONTINUATIVE)<br /><br />Immediately we are provided with ample slack in the narrative to help us arrive at an overall better fit. There are other examples similar to this.<br /><br />ALSO – another alternative ‘honest’ way of looking at the narrative in question is to consider the possibility that more than one calendar was in usage at the time. It is highly probably that the unauthorized Pharisaical authorities in power during that period were using an alternate, and therefore profane, system for reckoning time. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
