MAYBE (and quite PROBABLY) they did nothing of the sort, subconsciously realizing that there was absolutely NO such "impossibility" since, for the Jews, "Sunday" or rather "the first (day) of the week (mian sabbatoon)," starts at SUNDOWN on what we call "Saturday night!" "Epi," by the way (and you should know this already), means "above," "over," or "upon!" It does NOT mean "center" or "middle!" The word "meso" means "middle" or "center." The only word you COULD have used correctly would have been "OVER(head)!" in your explanation of the word "epifooskousee." But, you should also be aware of the fact that the "light" could be "OVER," "ABOVE," or "UPON" the HORIZON! This would make the timing "SUN-UP," or"DAWN," not "the middle of the afternoon (mid-afternoon)" or even "the middle of the day," which is when the sun is truly "OVERhead." And, you never did answer my question about which Greek version you were using. That's okay, though. I think I figured out where you got your information. Therefore, I cannot agree to your "detailed extensive research." I think, like Bugs Bunny, you "took a wrong turn at Albuquerque," and wound up in Timbuktu! Luv ya, tho', bro'! Don't tell me you luv me. You do disrespect me utterly, how can you fain you luv me? Cut it out. I'm over-acquainted with your sort of frivolousness. I regard it UNCHRISTIAN!

These require more work for me to produce; so, I've opted to use Biblesoft's method of transliteration for PC Study Bible's interlinear text, instead. (I also have opted not to show the iota-subscript. Therefore, I write, "tee epifooskousee," writing the SOUND of "phi" as an "f.") You'll receive no derision from me for the method of transliteration you choose to use.

One answer was "photi." After some of us were scratching our heads, the answer was revealed: "ph" in "phone," "o" in "women," and "ti" in "nation." "Ph" is two letters while "f" is only one letter. If there was a single English letter that made a long "o" sound, I would have used it. If there was a single English letter that made a long "ay" sound, I would have used it. I use the "ee" for the "ay" sound and the "oo" for the long "o" sound, and after a while, I got used to it. Realizing that the "u" (upsilon) is the long "oo" sound in "moon" and that "eu" (epsilon-upsilon) is the "you" sound, I no longer think of "oo" as in "moon," but as the omega, when I am in "Greek mode." Monstrous atrocious nauseating example in and proof of HYPOCRISY, and that, '~In the Messiah's love~' And still that's nothing compared to '~...

Go on, the bigger the better show of your ineptness and ignorance. You cannot even see difference and contrariness in "in the end of the Sabbath" and 'after the Sabbath'; You boast your English proficiency, but you cannot differentiate between the dawning of the following day-cycle and the daylight of it. You brag your Greek but cannot see a literally transliterated '~dawn~' does not exist, what, '~as the First Day was dawning~'. Your every expression of vacuous thinking oozes your puny preconceived idiotic idea of a Sabbath morning Resurrection.

Plus, You cannot get the "THIRD DAY" from Friday to Saturday. I take it you weren't very good at maths when you were at school. Nowhere does the Bible say Jesus rose on a Saturday.

You have other factors, though, to consider: First, the "week" is the weekly cycle from Shabbat to Shabbat, namely "Day 1" or the "Head Day" ("Yowm Echad" or "Yowm Rish'own") to the Day of Rest (Shabbat). In Greek, this is OFTEN written simply as "sabbatos," which may apply to either the 7th Day itself OR that weekly cycle of right after the Shabbat to the next Shabbat. Second, there were TWO Shabbatiym that week! The Passover (Pesach) was considered a Shabbat because it was also a DAY OF REST! No work was to be done on Pesach! That's why Matthew 28:1 specifies "But after [the] Shabbats" PLURAL or "Opse de sabbatoon." Third, the daily cycle was from sundown to sundown, making sunrise EXACTLY IN THE MIDDLE of the daily cycle! This, too, was called a "yowm" in Hebrew or a "heemeras" in Greek and was used interchangeably with the word "yowm" or "heemeras" referring solely to the time of daylight. How these words were to be translated was based on CONTEXT; not on a "bias!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
