Number of English Bibles, without [清早] early in the morning, but only [很早] early,

the emphasis of the sentences focus on the appeared time of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In accordance with all these English Bible Versions which can be translated to:

Very early on the first day of the week, Jesus was risen, he appeared first…

But how to determine: How early is “very early“.

The earliest is: The days exchange between the 17th of 1st Month and the 18th of 1st Month.

In the moment of changing to the first day of the week, Jesus was risen, he appeared first…

All over the world, all people, welcome the New Year, countdown seconds to zero:

10,9,8,7,6,5,…. till New Year 0 minute and 0 second.

This is accepted all over the world, in a split second of changing the day, is the earliest

moment (there is evening and there is morning, the first day of New Year ).
