Is the fact that Jesus died on Friday and rose on Sunday something that can be found in the Bible? I can't seem to find it in the Bible. Did the Church figure this out based on when Passover was 2006 years ago?
Thanks! God bless!

yes.
when Jesus died, it must have been friday, because the next day it was the Jewish Sabath (saturday, because this is the 7th day, and God rested on the 7th day of creation)
Luke 23-24
50 Behold, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
51 (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for the Kingdom of God:
52 this man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus' body.
53 He took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.
54 It was the day of the Preparation[friday], and the Sabbath [saturday] was drawing near.
55 The women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.
56 They returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath [saturday] they rested according to the commandment.
Luke 24 KJV
1 Now upon the first day of the week,[sunday] very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

I personally think it was Thursday to Sunday(the 1rst day of the week)and that that Sabbath was a special Sabbath because of Passover. But having said that ,the jews would count part of a day as ...a day,so He was in the grave Friday afternoon(part of a day ) for #1,all day Saturday and night (full day) for #2,and rose after midnite toward the dawn,(part of a day) for #3. So either way He was 3 days before resurrection.The Bible says it was the first day of the week,and that is Sunday.So He rose on Sunday morning sometime before dawn.Luke 24:1

John 19:31 says that Jesus died on the day before the Sabbath. The sabbath is the seventh day of the week, or Saturday. The day before the sabbath is Friday. (They came to break the legs of those on the crosses to hasten their death before the Sabbath.)
Jesus remained in the tomb three days. In the first century, a day was counted as a whole day or any part of a day. Jesus died on Friday. Friday would be day 1, Saturday... day 2, and he rose on Sunday, the third day.
Those who say Jesus rose on the Sabbath, have him rising too soon.
The Bible clearly says he rose very early on the first day of the week. (Mark 16:9)

Jesus died on Wednesday afternoon at 3PM and rose on Saturday afternoon at around 3PM. On Tuesday He had the Last Super with His disciples and later that night He went to the mount of Olives to pray where He was arrested starting His passion. buried before 6PM because was the beginning of Pass Over not Easter. That year had 2 Sabbaths, the annual Sabbath and the weekly Sabbath, that's why when the women came to the sepulchre He was already risen, that would be Sunday, meaning Saturday after 6PM.

He died on the preparation day for the Sabbath which was Friday because at 4:00 P.M. on Friday the Sabbath starts (Saturday is the Jewish Sabbath). If he died at 3:00 on Friday then that was the 1st day all day Saturday until 4:00 P.M. was the 2cnd day Sometime on Sunday morning early the 3rd day he arose--all biblical.

We know for sure that Jesus rose again on a Sunday.
The exact day of his death is still subject to speculation, as there could be more than one sabbath in a given week, due to Passover.
When in doubt, stick with what the church has always taught, especially when it does not teach in opposition to anything we find written in scripture.

No.
Jesus was raised on the Sabbath which is the last day of the week.
The last day of the week is Saturday for most religious and secular calendars.
There are other reasons, mainly due to Constantine, why Sunday is such a religious day for most.

Better question: Do you have to see it in print to believe it? Because a book is just a book. Faith has nothing to do with books, or what days of the week on which all these events allegedly happened.
Just a thought.
