Matthew 28:1 In the end of the sabbath (Notice it was still the Sabbath, not the first day of the week), as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week (A day ends and begins at sunset, it was close to sunset on Sabbath), came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
28:3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
28:4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
Pay close attention to what these verses are saying. In the end of the Sabbath came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. IT WAS THE END OF THE SABBATH AND JESUS WAS ALREADY RISEN. Many miss this very simple point.
The teaching that Christ rose sunday morning is not supported in scripture. Matthew is the only gospel that shows us this clearly.

The World believes that scriptures teaches that Jesus died on Good Friday and Arose on Easter Sunday.
BTW, when Jesus finished his perfect work of creation he pronounced it very good and rested (ceased from creating). When Jesus finished his earthly work of redemption he cried, "It is finished," and again rested (ceased from his earthly redemptive work). Both times he rested on the Sabbath.

Hi Insight, Do you believe in the Bible that it's without error? If yes, then Mark 16:2 said the ladies went to the tomb at the rising of the sun. How do you explain that?
