markt Wrote:Shlama Stephen, thank you for your thoughts. So, are you saying that the twilight was at the end of the sabbath day? That "at the lighting up (Gr: epi phosko) into one of the sabbaths came Miriam and the other Miriam to behold the sepulcher." If this was 'into' does this not negate the hypothesis that the sabbath was not ending but just beginning?
Shlama Akhi Mark:
Here is an analysis of Matthew 28:1.
But in the evening of the Shabbat, (This is at the end of the Shabbat)
when the first day of the week was lightening, (again, this sets the time)
Mariam Magdolita and the other Mariam
came to see the sepulchre.

There is "welcoming the Shabbat" and lighting of lamps (candles) in the evening of Friday night, but the end of Shabbat is also marked with a lighting of the hav'dala lamp (candle). Simply, the two Mariams came at the dawning of the day. Again, I have revised my post. <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: -->
