re: Rough day if you subscribe to a Wednesday crucifixion

It can refer to any portion of a day coupled with any portion of a night. The expression “three days and three nights” could be used as simply a slightly hyperbolic way of referring to “three days.”
As Protestant Bible scholar R. T. France notes: “Three days and three nights was a Jewish idiom to a period covering only two nights” (Matthew, 213).
Similarly, D. A. Carson, another highly esteemed conservative Protestant Bible scholar, explains: “In rabbinical thought a day and a night make an onah, and a part of an onah is as the whole. . . . Thus according to Jewish tradition, ‘three days and three nights’ need mean no more than ‘three days’ or the combination of any part of three separate days” (Expositor’s Bible Commentary, 8:296).
If Jesus was crucified and died Friday afternoon, that would be the first day; at sundown on Friday the second day would begin; then at sundown on Saturday the third day would begin. So Jesus was indeed “raised on the third day” (Matthew 20:19).

John Wayne told a story about that movie on Johnny Carson. After the scene, when the centurion says the line "Surely, this man is the son of God", the director said, "Put more awe in it".
So they reshoot the scene, and Wayne says "Aww, surely this man is the son of God".
Johnny and the audience break out laughing, and Wayne said "There's not a damn bit of truth in it, but it's a great story!"

Now get me three days between Thursday and Sunday morning. Considering Jesus’ death occurred late in the day on Thursday.
Like I mentioned earlier Thursday is plausible, as is Wednesday.
Friday tho? Ehhhhhhh

Just something to consider..
Dan 9:27 - “in the midst of the week” - Wednesday.

IMO, He was crucified on a Wednesday…laid in the tomb before sundown..Thursday, Friday, Saturday..He arose sometime Saturday night and the women found the empty tomb on Sunday morning..
It’s like the birth being in September. Opinions will differ. Just remember what you are celebrating and the why.

Jews count sundown to sundown... Friday prior to sundown was still Thursday.
That's all I got.

Well, if we're going to pretend that Jonah died in the belly of the big fish, then we can also pretend that Jesus death 'started' the crucifixion. It didnt
1) Thursday night Christ sat for his Last Supper. "I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God". He then went to pray in the garden for the burden to pass from him. He was betrayed as he foretold (see: Last Supper). He was taken before the Sanhedrin and Pilate. "But this is your hour, and the power of darkness. Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God."
The first night
2) Condemned to die. Began the trek to Golgotha, Nailed to the beam, and hoisted between 2 thieves, until about 3pm when he died. He had to be laid in his tomb prior to sunset, because the Sabbath was to begin at that time
The first day
3) The tomb was sealed, and a guard was posted
The 2nd night
4) The body was at rest on the Sabbath. Peter contends that Christ then went to preach to those that did not have access to this form of salvation. This IS NOT the going to the Heart of the Earth. That term is not used anywhere else in the Bible. And it wasnt even until the 5th century when the Apostles Creed began to suggest Christ descended into Hell. The Bible had multiple terms for Hell, "sheol", "hades", "gehenna". Therefore, the Heart of the Earth wasnt describing that. Christ going into the heart of the Earth was him going before the powers of the Earth to begin the process of salvation for all mankind. As Jonas did in bringing repentance to Ninevah
The 2nd day
5) An angel opened the tomb, the guards fled, and Christ arose
The 3rd night
6) EARLY on the next day, his followers returned to finalize his burial that the Sabbath had interrupted. Two beings were seen at the tomb, and said to those followers, "The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again." They specifically included him being delivered as the start of the process.
The 3rd day

My understanding is the main reason for saying the crucifixion happened on Friday is the Bible says they had to hurry to bury him because the next day was Sabbath and no work could be done. Sabbath is Saturday so they said Jesus was killed on Friday. But, since it was Passover week there were special Sabbaths apart from the weekly Sabbath. This one was on Thursday.

Yes, Jews considered any part of the day as counting as a day, but even the most conservative way of counting, you can't make <48 hours = 3 days. The fact that Jesus said he would be in the ground 3 days AND 3 nights means he could not have died on Friday. There were more than one Sabbath that week. Matthew 28:1 - "After the Sabbaths...." plural

Nope. If it was Wednesday it would be 3 days 4 nights.
The Thursday guy wins!

Could only be Friday because they had to get him down by Sabath (Friday by dark).
