Detailed explanation-1: -However, three days after the death of Jesus, the tomb he was sealed in was found empty. People believed that Jesus rose from the dead and named it ‘The Resurrection of Jesus’. The Christians celebrate the resurrection even to this day.
Detailed explanation-2: -At death his Spirit went to the Father in heaven, and then returned to be clothed in the resurrection body, in which he appeared to the disciples over a period of 40 days before the ascension. The statement in John 20:17 tells us that the ascension of the resurrected Christ had not yet happened.
Detailed explanation-3: -For Christians, the resurrection is the belief that Jesus came back to life three days after he died on the cross. The Gospel of Luke (24:1–9) explains how Jesus’ followers found out that he had been resurrected: On the Sunday after Jesus’ death, Jesus’ female followers went to visit his tomb.
Detailed explanation-4: -The interval “three days and three nights in the heart of earth” therefore refers only to a discrete and unique period of time in which Jesus’s body was located in Jerusalem prior to his resurrection. That time was from Thursday evening to Sunday morning. It included burial in the tomb, but only for part of that time.
Detailed explanation-5: -Written over the course of almost a century after Jesus’ death, the four gospels of the New Testament, though they tell the same story, reflect very different ideas and concerns. A period of forty years separates the death of Jesus from the writing of the first gospel.
