When was Jesus resurected on a Sunday or a Saturday?

Answer 1

No. The gospel accounts are unmistakably clear on the point that Jesus' body was in the grave on the Sabbath (Saturday), and that He rose on the "first day of the week" (Sunday). See Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:2 and 9, Luke 24:1 and John 20:1.

Answer 2

Yes, just prior to sunset Saturday and before the start of the 1st day of the week when He was seen in the dark hours of Sunday morning. (Jewish days begin and end at sunset just like the Genesis 1 account).


Jesus died and was buried on Passover Wednesday, 25 April 31 A.D. just before sunset and the start of the Annual Sabbath of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The Gospel accounts will mention this High Holy Day as a Sabbath and then mention the weekly Sabbath that begins on Friday sunset to Saturday sunset - Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath.


Part of the custom for the Feast of Unleavened Bread was for the High Priest (now Jesus) to present to the Father a 'wave sheath' offering on the 1st Sunday, 28 April 31 A.D. after the weekly Sabbath. This is why Jesus said not to touch Him early that Sunday after He arose as He had yet to ascend to His Father as mankind's wave sheath offering for all sin. God the Father accepted Him and He is now our Mediator:


1 Timothy 2:5New International Version (NIV)5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,
