Question:
When did Jesus die? According to Scripture, Jesus resurrected on the third day, or first day of the week, but there are only two days from Friday to Sunday.
Answer:
Jesus died on Good Friday and was resurrected on Easter Sunday. The Creed does not say that Jesus was raised three days later, it says that Jesus rose “on the third day.” So, counting Friday, the day he died, as the first day and Saturday as the second, that means the third day is Sunday.
