John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Matthew 28:1
In the end of the sabbath…
This clause is by some joined to the last verse of the preceding chapter, but stands better here, as appears from (Mark 16:1) , and intends not what the Jews call the sabbath eve, for that began the sabbath; but what they call (tbv yauwm) , "the goings out of the sabbath"; and as Mark says, (Mark 16:1) , "when the sabbath was past": that is, when the sun was set, and any stars appeared. The Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions, and Munster's Hebrew Gospel render it, "the evening of the sabbath"; and the Persic version, "the night of the sabbath"; but must mean, not the evening and night, which preceded the sabbath, and was a part of it, but what followed it, and belonged to the first day.
As it began to dawn;
not the day, but the night; a way of speaking used by the Jews, who call the night, (rwa) , "light": thus they say {y}, (rve hebral rwa) , "on the light, or night of the fourteenth" (of the month Nisan) "they search for leavened bread"… And so the word is used, in (Luke 23:54) , of the eve of the sabbath, or the beginning of it, as here of the going out of it;
towards the first day of the week,
or "sabbaths"; so the Jews used to call the days of the week, the first day of the sabbath, the second day of the sabbath… take an instance or two F26
``The stationary men fast four days in the week, from the second day to the fifth day; and they do not fast on the sabbath eve (so they sometimes call the sixth day), because of the glory of the sabbath; nor (tbvb dxab) , "on the first day of the sabbath", or week, that they may not go from rest and delight, to labour and fasting, and die.''
On which the Gemara has these words F1;
``the stationary men go into the synagogue, and sit four fastings; (tbvb ynvb) , "on the second of the sabbath", or "week": on the third, and on the fourth, and on the fifth.''
