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.
