Himself, “As Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly, so shall the Son of man also be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”315 The day of the prepar- ation, then, comprises the passion; the Sabbath embraces the burial; the Lord’s Day contains the resurrection. 315 Matt. xii. 40. 192 Chapter IX.—Reference to the history of Christ.
