There's no strong reason to believe he was crucified on a Friday...the biblical account doesn't mention Friday. It mentions the day before the Sabbath, but there are/were more Sabbaths than just Saturday. The OT specified several other special Sabbath days and, especially around the passover they were frequent. So, he could've been crucified on a Thursday. What really matters is the writers of the NT and the eyewitnesses of his resurrection knew that he was in the tomb for 3 days and 3 nights, there was no argument about the fufillment of this prophecy...it was fufilled.

Well lets see. Jesus was crucified around noon on Friday, and Sunday morning the tomb was discovered to be empty. So....
Noon Friday-Noon Saturday (1 day)
Noon Saturday- Noon Sunday (1 day)
2 days, or like 48 hours or less. So it wasn't three days later, it was only 2 days later. However, if you count both the first day and the last day, its 3 days total, which really doesn't make sense.

Luke 9:21 The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected ... and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.
I think the 3rd day is talking about the 3rd day after the whole passion and crucifixion began, not just from crucifixion.
The sign of Jonah, 3 days and 3 nights, may be measured from thursday night, when he was arrested. He was already experiencing the Isaiah 53 + Psalm 22 prophecies's fulfilment on the first night being taken away with oppression and judgement and receiving scourging, being spat on, having his beard pulled out etc.
Jewish days started at sunset.
First day: thursday - friday eve
2nd: friday - sat eve
3rd sat eve - sun morning (he rose on the 3rd day)
3 days (the last one a half day, so he rose on the 3rd day).
3 nights as well since it was dark for 3 nights.

Don't argue with them on the days.
Point out the fact that it was supposed to be three days and three NIGHTS.
Keystones:
3pm Friday -- He dies.
6pm Friday -- Sunset, begins Sabbath & first night
6am Saturday -- Sunrise, day of Sabbath
6pm Saturday -- Sunset, begins next day & second night
6am Sunday -- Sunrise begins day, body is missing before sunrise.
Thus, Jesus was only in the tomb for two nights.
Oops.

The Jewish Day goes from sundown to sundown plus at that time during that week there was a second high-sabbath.
Jesus did not resurrect on Sunday, no way no how. For whatever reason, most Sunday justifiers try to force this into a Sunday resurrection to justify dumping the commandment of keeping the Sabbath.

The Bible does no longer state that the Savior rose on Sunday. It says that when the disciples have been given to the tomb Sunday AM, it became ALREADY empty. The "first day of the week" all started after the close of the Sabbath, Saturday sunset. in view that there have been no witnesses recorded in Scripture, He might have risen after the Sabbath relax and in the previous ineffective night, the commencing up of Sunday - which might make experience using fact God abhors all pagan traditions of guy (specifically, Sunday, the "venerable day of the sunlight god" in accordance to Emperor Constantine & the Popes). God has by no ability tolerated paganism jumbled mutually along with his worship. there is not any prophesy in Scripture to steer the committed to have faith that Jesus rose on Sunday. "Easter" is the pagan vernal equinox party of the fertility goddess Ashtar/Ishtar. ~Easter Sunday~ is a double heretical abomination to God.

unfortunately, the way this is counted, Friday is the 0th day, Sat the 1st, Sun the 2nd, but the total days are three. It takes a while to get used to this type of thing.

Gotta think "Jewish". For the Jews, their day begins in the evening at sundown (based on Genesis, the evening and the morning was the first day). For us, it would be Friday because we start our day in the morning.
Here is a link to the rest of the calculations
