Today, there exists much confusion surrounding the dating and chronology of events taking place during the Passion Week of Christ. There are those who now are advocating for a Wednesday or a Thursday crucifixion and a Saturday resurrection. To the casual onlooker unschooled in the original languages, their points may initially appear to have some validity. But because this issue is so important – in that it affects so many other date-sensitive prophetic timelines in the Bible – it is imperative that we go into some further depth in order to examine these points. In this study, A Refutation Of Alternative Chronologies Of The Passion Week, we will touch on some of the major objections put forward by those who reject the traditional viewpoint of a Friday crucifixion and a Sunday resurrection – and we will explore their validity.

Introduction
The Traditional Christian View – Friday Crucifixion And Sunday Resurrection
Introduction To The Alternative Chronologies
Objection #1: “Scripture indicates there were two separate Sabbaths in between the time Jesus died and resurrected, making the crucifixion Wednesday or Thursday rather than Friday”
Objection #2: “Certain passages of Scripture indicate that the resurrection took place on a Saturday rather than a Sunday”
Objection #3: “The women bought spices after the Sabbath (Mark 16:1) and prepared spices before they rested on the Sabbath (Luke 23:55-56)”
Objection #4: “A Friday crucifixion with a Sunday resurrection would violate the “3 days, 3 nights ‘sign of Jonah’ prophecy in Matthew 12:40”
