Going by Genesis Ch 1, the day ended with sunrise. However, Jn 19:38 indicates that Day of Sabbath commenced with sundown of the immediately preceding day. | |
| Jun 13, 2023 at 5:38 | comment | added | Hold To The Rod | @KadalikattJosephSibichan I used is/was because the angel doesn't say if Jesus has been born already this day, or He will be born this day. I think it more likely that He had already been born when the angelic announcement was given. | |

| Jun 13, 2023 at 5:35 | comment | added | Hold To The Rod | @KadalikattJosephSibichan to visit Elisabeth, Mary had to travel nearly 100 miles. To visit the babe in the manger, the shepherds probably traveled less than 5 miles. Quickly making preparations for a 100 mile journey would take considerably longer than quickly making preparations to travel 5. I added 1 more verse to my answer for clarity. | |
| Jun 13, 2023 at 5:35 | comment | added | Kadalikatt Joseph Sibichan | HTTR, you seem to suggest that Nativity was announced to the shepherds in advance. Can you elaborate ? | |
| Jun 13, 2023 at 5:29 | comment | added | Kadalikatt Joseph Sibichan | HTTR, Luke 1:39 says " In those days, Mary went in haste ....to visit Elizabeth". So, the use of haste to express an immediate reaction, may not be measured in minutes or hours , and could stretch to days together. | |
