Eliyahu, I do not see how you answered my question. I agree that they took Him bown before dark and burried Him that day, But my question is still. Why did the women wait until the 1st day to go and anoint His body, when they could have done it on the 6th day? I'm trying to use some logic here.
You appear to have a good understanding of the Wednsday/Sauterday theory and should have an answer for everything you believe, so please give me a logical answer.
And while your at it what proof is there that an exact 72 hours is required? I do not get that from the text quoted.
