that both <strong>of</strong> these renderings use the singular-Sabbath. But<br />
in the original Greek the word is in the PLURAL. Fent<strong>on</strong> renders<br />
it correctly by saying, “After thn Sabbaths.” In a footnote to<br />
this text, he says, “<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> Greek origical is in the plural. ‘Sabbaths’<br />
”- which all the scholars should know!<br />
Another verse causing the Bible apparently to c<strong>on</strong>tradict<br />
itself is found in Mark 16:P. Open your Bible to this verse. This<br />
verse does not prove the resurrecti<strong>on</strong> was <strong>on</strong> Sunday. In the<br />
comm<strong>on</strong> versi<strong>on</strong>s, the comma. is placed following the word<br />
“week,” making it appear that Jesus arose <strong>on</strong> Sunday morning.<br />
But the use <strong>of</strong> commas in the Bible did nat develop until about<br />
fourteen centuries after this was written.<br />
Here is the explanati<strong>on</strong>.<br />
In the original Greek the phrase “early the first day <strong>of</strong><br />
the week” can be grammatically c<strong>on</strong>nected either with the words<br />
“having risen” or with the words “He appeared first to Mary<br />
Magdalene.” <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> Expositor’s Greek Testament says the phrase<br />
“early the first day <strong>of</strong> the week” may be either “c<strong>on</strong>nected with<br />
[having risen], indicating the time <strong>of</strong> the resurrecti<strong>on</strong>, or with<br />
[appeared], indicating the time <strong>of</strong> the first appearance.”<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> Scriptures elsewhere prove it could not refer to the time<br />
<strong>of</strong> the resurrecti<strong>on</strong>. As it could refer to the first appearance <strong>of</strong><br />
Jesus to Mary (John 20:14), Mark 16:9 should. have been<br />
translated, “NOW having risen, early the first day <strong>of</strong> the week<br />
he appeared first to Mary Magdalene.”<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> M<strong>on</strong>tgomery translati<strong>on</strong> renders this verse correctly.<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> translati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> this verse in the Revised Standard Versi<strong>on</strong><br />
is absolutely incorrect.<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> TOMB <strong>of</strong> CHRIST<br />
Interior and exterior views <strong>of</strong> the Garden Tomb in which Jesus Christ<br />
was buried and from which He arose after being three days and three<br />
nights in this grave. No remains <strong>of</strong> the huge st<strong>on</strong>e door which <strong>on</strong>ce<br />
sealed the tomb now exist. At right <strong>of</strong> entrance to Garden tomb is<br />

Nearby, to the right, is Golgotha -the Place <strong>of</strong> the Skull - where<br />
Jesus was crucified. Read in this booklet the astounding truth that<br />
Christ’s resurrecti<strong>on</strong> was not <strong>on</strong> Sunday - and that the crucifixi<strong>on</strong> was<br />
not <strong>on</strong> <strong>Friday</strong>!<br />
