The women went to Jesus’ tomb the day after the Sabbath, as going to the tomb on the Sabbath was not in line with their faith. The morning of the first of the week is half way through the day already. Hebrew days start at sundown. Therefore it is impossible to know if Jesus rose on the Sabbath or on the 1st of the week (which might be considered the 8th day). Might this be on purpose? Will the resurrection happen in the great Sabbath or will it happen in the great Jubilee? Or both?
