1. Question - a Reference Request
In view of the question : Luke 23:54 - How should "Sabbath Dawning" be Interpreted?
Whether or not Luke is stating that the Sabbath began at dawn, or not - it seems there should be evidence to support either view, so :
Up to, and including, the Second Period Temple, What are the earliest texts and evidences substantiating - that the Jewish Calendar day began at Sunset?
2. Evidences up to and including the the Second Temple Period :
So, not Chrysostom - who may have relied on Rabbinic/Pharasaic authority after the Sadducees had been removed:
Homilies on Matthew (Chrysostom 349-407 CE), Homily 81 - ... he means the day before that feast; for they are accustomed always to reckon the day from the evening ...;
Or, Scriptural Evidence:
If an answer appeals to a supposed "Plain Meaning of Scripture" and has to explain that "plain meaning" - then, it is not a plain meaning. If it is truly "Plain" - then just provide the text, without commentary, flow charts, calendar diagrams, slideshow presentations, etc.
