Your "at dark" part of the verse your using for your argument doesn't make since and is an add-in after the original. The original was a "dawn" (mark 8:31) or in other words "daylight," and not dark. Mark is the oldest gospel of the four. Then after Mark along came John, it being the newer. Read this post half a dozen times and maybe it can somehow get past all the trash. Instead you don't have Jesus rising on the third day as a Worthy Credible story, instead, you have a 1 day "offering". Get lost you. Understand the word "offering" in context with the expression "Lamb as an offering". It seems when dealing with God and making an 'offering", one wouldn't try an "Underworthy" swindle. I'm speaking directly about the 3 day promise and the 1 day fact and the 2 day swindle. Not only do you support a swindle, you weasel too.
You have forgetten at the same time you're counting time. There is prediction by Jesus to be fulfilled, wherein, he is 3 days dead (Mark 8:31). We agree the sabbath day is from friday sunset to saturday sunset and within context of the meaning no more daylight. Notice they understand "a day" back then, by correctly numbering "a day", by keeping the Sabbath which is "one eveing to the next evening" in other words 24 hours. They can keep time well enough the know the meaning of "a day = 24 hours".
Here it is since I have to spell it out for you. You said on saturday night at dark Mary went to the tomb. That amount of time is only one day, from friday evening to saturday evening. Just before the start of the sabbath friday evening until saturday evening just after dark doesn't total to 3 days. According to the bible Jesus said he would be dead for three days, (mark 8:31.) You only calculated 1 day thus far. So Jesus missed his prediction of rising again on the third day, thereby disproving the fabricated lie wherein "He has risen". No complete fulfillment of his words to rise on the third day instead a coverup. Are you going to tell me now, that Jesus was raised early? And at the same time falsely claim his prophecy was completely fulfilled and didn't swindle your God?
Mark 8:31
And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise
According to this verse you are in need of three days to credibly validate Jesus proprophecy of rising on the third day. You are missing 2 days in that failed prediction of rising on the third day. Friday evening to Saturday evening is only 1 day and not 3 days. Must have slipped your mind, since you said saturday evening Mary went to the tomb and when finding it empty went and told Peter. Those people back then understood that “a day” equaled “24 hours,” just as it is to us these days. That’s because it was their custom to keep the Sabbath once a week. They stayed home Friday evening to Saturday evening. This practice enabled those people back then to understand the meaning of a day which is 24 hours or in other words, one evening to the next evening is our understanding of 24 hours. So when you see it written in the bible referencing “a day,” understand that means 24 hours to us.
Matthew 28
1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
I use a Dictionary.
dawn: 1. the first appearance of daylight in the morning:
In context the meaning of the phrase was in the morning Mary got up and went at daylight.
There would be reasons for this and one is, no street lights.
You twist just like a peddler.
Daylight is dawn.
4. daybreak; dawn.
Sunrise:
1. the rise or ascent of the sun above the horizon in the morning.
2. the atmospheric and scenic phenomena accompanying this.
3. the time when half the sun has risen above the horizon.
4. the open or beginning stage of any period.
Edit add: Notice "dawn" or "at dark" isn't listed in the dictionary definition of "sunrise" and not found in the biblical verses cited. You picked the word "sunrise" out of thin air. A twisting tool is "sunrise".
