Quote:Luke 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.Jesus told his followers to tarry in Jerusalem. It doesn't say he did so. Then he went out to Bethany and ascended into Heaven. There is no mention of "next day" or that the event happened during daylight hours.
Quote:Then a seven mile run, right, I ran track in high school, long distance, and running seven miles would be a difficult task for anyone who had not trained rigorously, actually I would say impossible.I agree.
I would also agree it's impossible that Jesus was, in one night, arrested at Gethsemane, taken to trial by the high priests, then given over to Pilate, then transported to Herod Antipas, then sent back to Pilate to be tried all in one night.
You're making progress.
Quote:So by your own research it did not happen,Again, I agree.
Quote:also remember that sundown meant the start of a new day to the Jewish people.Now you're playing semantic games. The point is Luke says it all happened within 24 hours which is a far cry from 40 days.
