PART 3-----ITEM K-----The Hour of the Resurrection-----From the Biblical Account:
Since He was exactly 72 hours in the grave, the time of the crucifixion and resurrection are the same hour. The scriptures say that Jesus cried out and died after the ninth hour or 3 in the afternoon.
Matt 27:46-50
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
Mark 15:34-37
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
See also Luke 23: 44-46
Conclusion: Christ was resurrected at just after 3 in the afternoon, 3 days and 3 nights after He died or 72 hours later.
