But some may say that this Sabbath was past before the resurrection, and that the change in the day could not take place until Christ had risen and appeared to His disciples.
We reply that the resurrection of Christ has nothing to do with the matter.
The gospels were all written years after the occurrence of the events....and the names which they give to things must be the names by which the Holy Spirit wishes those things to be known throughout the entire Christian age.
With one accord they speak of the seventh day of the week-the day immediately preceding the first day of the week-as "the Sabbath."
