How come Jesus died on Friday and rose on Sunday? That's not 3 days and three nights.

Genesis 1:5 (King James Version)

So there were two days of rest back-to-back: the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the 7th day Sabbath.

In Luke 18:33 (KJV), He says, "...the third day he shall rise again."

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Jesus would be 3 full 24-hour days in the earth. The definition that Jesus used was ’12 hours in a day,’ and he said he would rise ‘sometime on the third day.’ The gospels indicate that he rose on the morning of the third day, around the time of daybreak, so he was in the earth less than 3 24-hour days (it was closer to 60 hours according to the definition that Jesus used and what’s worded in Mark 16:9 and the verses above this paragraph).

Mark 8:31 (KJV) says, "And he began to teach them, that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again."

That word ‘after’ is translated from the Greek word ‘meta’ which means ‘midst.’ Jesus said he would rise in the ‘midst’ of the third day, or ‘sometime on the third day.’

If Jesus had been crucified on a Friday there would not be three nights before Sunday morning. And if Jesus had been crucified on a Wednesday, Wednesday evening until Thursday evening would have been a day of rest (first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread), but Friday morning would be clear (not a day of rest). If they had waited until Sunday morning to work with a dead body (instead of Friday morning), the body (or so they thought) would have been dead 3½ days. Besides that a Wednesday crucifixion would have Jesus in the sepulchre more than 3 days and 3 nights, it would make no sense for the women to wait 3½ days to work with a deceased body instead of waiting 1 day to work on the body while it is fresh.
