The Bible records that Christ was crucified on the sixth day of the week, or the preparation day--the day before the Sabbath was to occur (see Mark 15:42; Luke 23:54; John 19:31, 42; Matthew 27:62), He was resurrected on the first day of the week, or the day after the Sabbath had passed (see Matthew 28:1-8; Mark 16:1-10; Luke 24:1-8; John 20:1), thus showing that Christ was resting in the tomb during the seventh day Sabbath.
Biblia imeweka kumbukumbu kwamba Kristo alisulubishwa siku ya sita ya juma, au siku ya maandalizi – siku kabla ya Sabato haijatokea (angalia Marko 15:42; Luka 23:54; Yohana 19:31, 42; Mathayo 27:62), Alifufuka siku ya kwanza ya juma, au siku baada ya Sabato kuwa imepita (angalia Mathayo 28:1-8; Marko 16:1-10; Luka 24:1-8; Yohana 20:1), hivyo ikionyesha kwamba Kristo alikuwa amepumzika kaburini wakati wa siku ya saba ya Sabato.
