While preparing for an Easter message, out of Acts 12:4, I discovered something interesting. The Good Friday position has its basis in a doctrine of the Sadducees. (Who didn't believe in a resurrection at all.)
From Phil Sawilowsky,
"The 3 feast all ran together as the feast of 1st fruits took place on the “morrow after Sabbath” Lev. 23:11. So it would depend on your view of what day he died. If a Wednesday or Thursday- must have a double Sabbath- rabbis take the Pharisee view that what ever day the PO falls on, it is a Sabbath thus require 2 Sabbaths in the same week.
Sadducee’s viewed only one Sabbath in a week which requires a Friday death.
Either way the 3 feasts are during the same week in Christ’s time and even today."
