You can't get three days and three nights between Friday and Saturday. People assume that He was crucified on Friday because the Jews wanted to remove Him from the cross before the Sabbath on Saturday. What they don't understand is that there were two Sabbath days between the time that Jesus died and His resurrection. There was a special "High" Sabbath day that began the Feast of Unleavened Bread on Thursday, and then the regular Sabbath day the following Saturday. Jesus was crucified on Wednesday and buried Wednesday night. Then he was in the ground Thursday and Thursday night, Friday and Friday night, Saturday and Saturday night. Then, He rose Sunday morning. We should be celebrating Good Wednesday instead of Good Friday! Do some research and see if you agree. God bless.
