Better get ready to get another bible. If you take what we are taught today you may not be able to do much with it but if you take what the people that wrote it taught, you can be very clear with it. First off, a day in Jesus time frame was considered any part of a day would be considered a day. Such as when you find the parable of the men that came to work and was promised a days wages, some came early in the day, some later in the day and some just before quitting time but all were paid a days wage. All were considered to have earned a days wage even though some did not work but maybe an hour. Consider it then, Friday is the first day, Sabbath or Saturday was the second day, Sunday was the third day that He said He would rise on. Thus three days.
Even if you don't want to accept that, if you read the text that tells all about it, you will find that it states in Mark 9 : 31 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.
Now was Jesus delivered into the hands of men? It says so. If you look at the timeline here you will see it was actually Thursday night that Jesus was handed over to the Roman guards and the priests. So if you take from that to Friday, day one, Saturday, day two, Sunday, day three. Either way you want to look at it, you see there are three days mentioned here that Jesus was to be in the hands of men and not under the protection of the Father as He was all the rest of His time on this Earth. If you check out the way the days are considered in the bible, you see the dark part of the day always comes first so Thursday night was actually Friday, the first part of the day when the sun went down so the supper was actually on what we would call Thursday night but what the people then would call Friday. That is also why they wanted to get the bodies down before sundown Friday night as the Sabbath begins at sundown, the first part of the day. So Friday, the first day, Saturday or Sabbath, the second day and Sunday, the third day. Or as you wanted to say, Thursday night, Friday night and Saturday night, which is the first part of each of the days, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. See Genesis 1 for confirmation that the dark part of the day always comes first. Either way you want to look at it, there was three days and three nights that Jesus was in the hands of men. Have a good meal and eat slowly.

Jesus will killed Nisan 14, and was raised by God three days later.
On Nisan 16, the day the priest at the temple waved the firstfruits of the barley harvest, Jesus, as the firstfruits of the resurrection, was raised up to life again.
As Luke 23 starting with verse 54 puts it, Jesus was in the tomb just before the Sabbath began, and when the women checked on him on the first day of the week, he was gone.
The Sabbath is a Saturday, or last day of the week.
By the way, it was Constantine that instituted Sunday as a religious day, but to keep a pagan tie in it, it was named after the sun god that he worship.
Constantine liked Christianity, but remained a pagan until his deathbed baptism.

Greetings,
No it was actually from Wednesday night to Saturday night.
Remember that Jewish days were from sundown to sundown and not from midnight to midnight.
How was it Wednesday night you ask? Should you look at John;12:1---it states that Jesus arrived in Bethany SIX days before the Passover day from Jericho. JOHN;12:12,13---states that the next day He entred into Jerusalem and that the people greeted Him with the Palm leaves and the Hosannas of praise as the Messiah,which church doctrine ascribes as being on Sunday but if that was the case then Jesus and the people with Him were in a grievous violation of the Sabbath laws of not traveling more than a Sabbaths day journey which would have been punishable for death by stoning. Also mary and Martha would have been in violation of the Sabbath laws for prepariing them a meal. So then one must conclude that Jesus arrived on a Friday and entered Jerusalem on Saturday the Sabbath and when He went into the Temple and cleansed it out He was justified for His righteous indignation at the moneylenders for desecrating His Fathers temple on the Sabbath.

What flavor is your Bible? Seriously, you do not have to eat it, just admit your wrong.
When scribes and Pharisees asked Jesus Christ for a sign, he said: “A wicked and adulterous generation keeps on seeking for a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah the prophet.” Jesus added: “For just as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish three days and three nights, so the Son of man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.” (Matthew 12:38-40) Jewish days began at sundown. Christ died on Friday afternoon, Nisan 14, 33 C.E. His body was placed in a tomb before sunset of that day. Nisan 15 began that evening and ran until sundown of Saturday, the seventh and last day of the week. At that time Nisan 16 began and ran its course until sunset of what we call Sunday. Consequently, Jesus was dead and in the tomb for at least a period of time on Nisan 14, was entombed throughout the entire day of Nisan 15, and spent the nighttime hours of Nisan 16 in the tomb. When certain women came to the tomb on Sunday morning, he had already been resurrected.

Start eating. You are dealing with a moon calendar and Jewish culture. You are explaining the time line in terms of a sun calendar. Days (sun days and lunar days) have 24 fours, for lunar days start at sunset and end at sunset, so Friday contains two lunar days: sunset on Thursday to sunset on Friday and sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday day. In addition, the Jewish term Sabbath means from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday.
Jesus died on the lunar day that started with sunset on Thursday and before sunset Friday. This means the temple was destroyed on sunset Thursday to sunset Friday, the first lunar day; sunset Friday to sunset Saturday, the second lunar day ; and sunset Saturday to Sunday sunset, the third lunar day. In (not after) this lunar day, God raised Jesus from the dead. So count the lunar days.
I have spared you the verses, but I want to document my answer. Please feel free to read them before you eat them. Jesus states in Matt 26:61, 27:40; Matt 14:58, 15:29; John 2:19-20 regarding duration, three days (lunar days), and you can see his words applied in Matt 28. Mark 16, Luke 24, and John 20.
I have answered your question in terms of night and day (lunar days).
Let me comment what I believe is your “real” question. You either believe that the bible is the word of God as spoken by his prophets, or you don't. You can search the scriptures for inconsistencies, but that will not change your beliefs. My beliefs (the bible is God word interprets itself) will not help you. I can correct biblical misunderstandings until the cows come home, but making the bible clearer will not help you with your beliefs. The bible is for believers not a conversion manual.

Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Sunday is the third day. The Bible doesn't say 3 days and 3 nights, it says on the third day.
Don't eat your Bible though, just read it, it's better that way

Three calendar days - Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Bible says "the third day", not 72 hours, not three days and three nights.
You can give me the 10 points for best answer now.

Sorry!
Go read the Bible!
Last supper and arrest of Jesus was on Prepairation day (a wednesday by our calendars), which is the day the house is cleansed of LEvening, the night before the start of Pesach (Passover). Death on the cross came before the official start of Pesach (Thursday night our calendars). Jews do not work or stay outside after Passover begins so Jesus was in the tomb before sundown. So after Jesus died and was entombed PAssover started.
The NEXT night (2nd day of PAssover) was the SABBATH (go read the bible), which Jews follow today in Friday night. So. Day one was Thursday night (passover) day two was friday night (the sabbath) and day three was saturday night to sunday night (Jews start days at sunset and end them at sunset). Jesus was out of the tomb on Sunday morning.
That is 3 Jewish days from wednsaday night/thrusday day.
Wednesday night/thrusday day -- Last supper, Arrest, Crusifiction
Thursday night/Friday day -- Passover Jesus alreaday dead
Friday night/Saturdady day -- Sabbath
Saturday night to Sunday night --- 3rd day after death, Jesus out of tomb by SUNDAY AT SUNRISE, which is MID-DAY for a Jew.
Jesus out of tomb by "Jewish high noon"
According to the best caculations I can make, this puts the date of the Last Supper on Weds April 12, 0024 (AD or CE) and resurretionon April 15, 0024 (AD or CE).
Jesus was 30 when he was crusified, according to the Bible as I remember it.
ALL scholars agree that the DATE of BCE or BC and AD or CE is wrong by 4 - 6 years.
30-24 = 6
This, according to Passover cacluators, means the ONLY date that matches the Jewish ritual is April 12, 0024. That is the ONLY time Pesach starts the day before the sabbath over a 30+ year time frame. Thus Pesach was April 13, and the friday Sabbath on April 14.
April 12 is the date of the LAst Supper and April 15 is the date of the ressurecton.
I celebrate my Last Supper rememberence day on that date each year.
It's not a movable feast but a hard and cold day when Jesus had that last supper.
And don't give no NO agruments unless you are a Hebrew Theologist who also has a credible expert in JEwish, Gregorian and Julian calendar systems, as I've consulted the best I have access to. You need to state your creditiblities including your college history, published works and accreditations before you'll impress me to the contrary.
Rangedog and I agree, except Rangedog cites Jewish calender days and I converted to Julian Day, which is the modern system. My dates are definately subject to debate but ONLY among EXPERTS in calendar systems with creditials.

Jewish days began at nightfall. Therefore, Friday was one day (till it ended at dark), Saturday was another (till it ended at dark), and then Sunday was the third day. You needn't think it was exactly 72 hours. And it doesn't say "3 nights" anyway- just 3 days. Part of Friday was a day, all of Saturday was a day, and part of Sunday was a day.
