We can contrast these against the places where it also states:Hello Stephen,
On the point of translating from exegesis alone how do you account for the resurrection event ocurring three days after the crucifixion?
MattithYah 27:62, 63
“But nevertheless, the next day, which is and exists as the day after the Preparation day of Friday, the high and chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered and drawn, collected and assembled, brought and joined together towards and to the advantage of Pilate, saying and teaching, maintaining and affirming, directing and exhorting, advising and pointing out, “Sovereign Lord, we remember, recall and are reminded that concerning this, that certain specific deceiver, impostor and corruptor who led and seduced people to err and make mistakes had said whilst He was still alive and living, ‘After three days, I Am to be raised and lifted up, awakened and restored back to life from death.”
- Quoted from Version 1 / The Way to Yahuweh
Marcus 8:31
“…and to also be killed and eliminated, slayed and put to death, having His soul separated from His body, but to be raised and lifted up, awakened and restored after three days.”
- Quoted from Version 1 / The Way to Yahuweh
Yahuchanon 19:31
“Then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things being so, since and seeing as though it was and existed as Friday, so that, in order that and with the result that the bodies and corpses would not remain or abide, endure or live on, last or persist, stay or continue on, dwell or lodge upon the upright pole and stake* in, by and on the day of rest, the Shabbat, for the reason that the day and time period of that certain specific day of rest, that Shabbat, was and existed as great and mighty, powerful and strong, intense and outstanding…”
- Quoted from Version 1 / The Way to Yahuweh
MattithYah 28:1
“And then, at the end of and after the Shabbat, the day of rest, at the dawning and beginning of Day One of Weeks and Shabbats*, Miriam of Migdalah and the other and different Miriam came, arose and appeared to watch and look at, understand and perceive, notice and behold, attentively view and see, ascertain and know, discover and recognise, contemplate and consider the sepulchre and tomb, grave and burial place.”

From then on, at that time, Yahushua* began and started to show and give evidence of, exhibit, prove and make known to His disciples and followers, pupils and learners, apprentices and adherents that concerning this, it was necessary and behoved, right and proper, inevitable and binding, fitting and destined, ordained and prescribed, suitable and beneficial for Him to go off and depart, leave and proceed to go into Yarushalaim to experience and undergo, receive and endure many numerous and large amounts of suffering from presbyters and elders, the Sanhedrin*, and by the high and chief priests, and by the clerks and scribes, public servants and teachers of religious law, secretaries and government officials, judges and scholars, and to be destroyed and killed, ruined and annihilated, wasted and slayed, rendered useless and caused to perish and pass away, but then to be raised and lifted up, awakened and restored back to life on the third day.
Then, when they were gathered and assembled, collected, combined and united together in Galiylah, Yahushua* said to them, “The Son* of Man* is about and inevitable to, determined and intended to, certain and expected to, shall and will be given and granted, supplied and furnished, bestowed and delivered, committed and permitted, extended and presented, surrendered, betrayed and handed over into the hands and power, control and custody of men and other human beings, and they will destroy and kill, ruin and annihilate, waste and slay Him, rendering Him useless and causing Him to perish and pass away, but He will be raised and lifted up, awakened and restored back to life on the third day.”
But nevertheless, having strictly rebuked and admonished, rated and chided, reproved and censured, warned, evaluated and charged them, He strictly enjoined and ordered, divided and separated, defined and charged, admonished and commanded them to say and teach, maintain and affirm, direct and exhort, advise and point out this to no one, nobody and nothing, having said, “Concerning this, it is and exists as necessary and behoves, right and proper, inevitable and binding, fitting and destined, ordained and prescribed, suitable and beneficial for the Son of Man* to experience and undergo, receive and endure many numerous and large amounts of suffering, and to be rejected and thrown away, declared useless and regarded as unworthy, disapproved of and repudiated by and from the presbyters and elders, the Sanhedrin*, and by the high and chief priests, and by the clerks and scribes, public servants and teachers of religious law, secretaries and government officials, judges and scholars, and to also be killed and eliminated, slayed and put to death, having His soul separated from His body, but to be raised and lifted up, awakened and restored on the third day.”
Then, after being flogged and lashed, beaten and tormented, scourged and whipped, they shall destroy and kill, ruin and annihilate Him, render Him useless, wasting and slaying Him, causing Him to perish and pass away. But on the third day, He shall be caused to stand upright and firm, steadfast and established, fixed and unmoveable, upheld and sustained, maintained and authorised, being restored back to life.
Concerning this, it is necessary and behoves, right and proper, inevitable and binding, fitting and destined, ordained and prescribed, suitable and beneficial for the Son of Man to be given and granted, supplied and furnished, bestowed and delivered, committed and permitted, extended and presented, surrendered, betrayed and handed over to the hands and power, control and custody of sinful and erroneous men and human beings who have missed the mark and made mistakes, violated the law of the Supreme One and wandered from the Way and from the state of uprightness, and to be crucified, being nailed to an upright pole and stake*, and on the third day, to be caused to stand upright and firm, steadfast and established, fixed and unmoveable, upheld and sustained, maintained and authorised...’
And he said to them, “Concerning this, it has been written and inscribed, recorded and composed in this manner and way, thus and so: the Anointed Messiah* must experience and undergo, receive and endure suffering, and then on the third day be caused to stand upright and firm, steadfast and established, fixed and unmoveable, upheld and sustained, maintained and authorised from out of the dead and lifeless, becoming separate from the inanimate and the realm of the deceased, and enable others to do the same thing...”
“...this certain specific Man God* Himself raised and lifted up, awakened and restored back to life from the dead on the third day, and gave and granted, supplied and furnished, bestowed and delivered, committed and permitted, extended and presented Him the right to come to be and exist, arise, appear and originate as completely visible and radiant, exposed to the eyes and viewable, clearly shining and revealed, exhibited and disclosed, manifested and clearly seen, known and illuminated, recognised and totally apparent...”
The phrase "to be raised and lifted up, awakened and restored after three days" I think may start from the time when Yahushua is betrayed to the high priests. There's a reason Yahushua only states this when he has also mentioned his betrayal to the Sanhedrin. I also find it curious as to why Lucus never has the phrase "after three days" with regards to the resurrection in either of his books. As Lucus is a Greek writer and he doesn't use this phrase, we can conclude that the phrase "after three days" is a Hebraism of sorts.and that concerning this, He was buried and entombed, and that concerning this, He was raised and lifted up, awakened and restored back from death on the third day in accordance with and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to the writings of Scripture...
I should also note the continuation of the Pharisees question to Pilate in MattithYah 27:63:
If "after three days" was indicating three full days of 24 hour periods, why don't the Pharisees ask Pilate to keep guards watching over the tomb until the fourth day, when the third day after the Messiah's death would've been completely ended?Then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things being so, command and direct, urge and bid, exhort and order that the sepulchre and tomb, grave and burial place is to be made safe and secured, guarded and watched over up until the third day...
We can also see how "after three days" even including day and night, isn't three full days or night when we look to the book of Esther:
As you can see, "do not eat or drink for three days, night or day" doesn't equal three full nights and three full days, because "on the third day", Esther goes to see the king. It wasn't the fourth day which one would expect if the Yahuwdeans were fasting for three full days and nights.Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, “Go, gather all the Yahuwdeans to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.” Mordecai then went away and did everything as Esther had ordered him. On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king’s palace, in front of the king’s quarters, while the king was sitting on his royal throne inside the throne room opposite the entrance to the palace.
I should also point out that never does anyone record Yahushua stating that He would rise "after the third day" (Greek μετα τη τριτη ημερα) or "three days later" (Greek τρεις ημεραι μετεπειτα).
In conclusion: I see no reason at all to doubt the crucifixion happening on a Friday, and then the Messiah being resurrected on Day one of Shabbats/Sunday/On the third day.
