Quoth Clive D.W. Feather on Wed, Oct 04, 2000:
Clearly the resurrection - which was on a Sunday - was on the first day of the week.
In Hebrew, week days don't have names (except Sabbath). They're just numbered, so "First day of the week" means Sunday, no other interpretation possible. Now, these are Jewish weeks; it does not answer the question whether Christian weeks start on Sunday or Monday. Remember that when the New Testament was written Christianity did not exist as we know it, and Julian calendar was not invented yet (let alone Gregorian).
