The Roman Catholics are wrong on their claimed that Jesus was crucified on that day,Friday and the truth is Thursday not Friday. Catholics also are very wrong on the dates when Jesus was crucified because as we have observed for many years the alleged holy week sometimes appear on March but sometimes it is on the month of April either first week or second week.Catholics were really lost.

The Bible doesnt say that it would be for three days and three nights. It does say that "On the third day he rose again." Which is the day the deciples went to look to where he was buried and he wasnt there.
Jonah wasn't crucified. He was still alive. Let's count this okay: 1. Friday, 2. Saturday, 3. Sunday... On the third day. Don't try to complicate a simple thing. ALso it's not stated in the Bible that it happened on Friday. Just like Christmas Day, the actual days were later decided on. So, that Easter would fall on a Sunday and there would be a service to commemorate. When they picked the day they knew what happened and if they wanted it to be that way, they could've just said He was Crucified on Thursday and not Friday.

He said he will spend 3 days and nights in the " heart of the earth". The meaning isn't clear but He could not have been referring to His burial. He was never buried in the earth, He was entombed. Also He definitely did die on a Friday. It says that after he was entombed, the next day was the Sabbath( Saturday) See Luke 23:50-56. Then it was Sunday morning , the first day of the week when He arose.( Luke 24: 1)

Calendar days came a whole lot later on and the traditions of man have definitely muddied the waters. Jesus was crucified between two Sabbaths. If you investigate what the Bible has to say, and which Sabbaths are in question as well as the time for purification, you'll get your 3 days. Forget the popular beliefs of man, go back and study out the times of the Jewish people of that time.

We do not know WHAT day of the week Jesus was crucified on. What we do know is that He was betrayed during the Passover meal, so that would be Nisan 14 by the Hebrew calendar. Nobody knows what year, so it is impossible to fix the day of the week on which He was tried, crucified, and finally resurrected.
Just like Christmas, dates were chosen to commemorate these occasions because they are extremely important to the Christian faith. It doesn't really matter worth a hoot what the actual days of the week are. What matters is that we remember the events that they commemorate.

Hi there, TWW,
Some 8 years ago, I was on my desk trying to figure out this same problem. My calculator gave up and I thought I’d be then needing a Chinese abacus. You just reminded me of my very first “spiritual mathematics” test. But thanks to this problem, believe me - - this started my long serious research in the bible. Would you believe – it took me three months then to solve this?
Christ couldn’t have been crucified on a Friday – neither was resurrected on a Sunday morning. Matthew 12:38-40 is very precise – 3days & 3nights – no more, no less.
When I was still a frequent traveler, my airline would always remind me “to re-confirm my next flight at least 72 HOURS”. This airline rule came to mind when I was trying to figure out this particular verse in Matthew. 72 HOURS would exactly mean 3days&3nights. So Matthew 12:38-40 would also mean 72 HOURS. And this is not to include the time that Christ was still on the cross – dead. 72 HOURS would start only on the hour Christ was put in the tomb.
Now, here’s the key – counting of days in Judaism time is “sunset to sunset” (which they still practice today). Say, 6pm of Friday (in our way of counting) is already counting as the beginning of Saturday – until 6pm the next day (which is the beginning of Sunday). The story of creation tells it all – “And the evening and the morning the first day…” (Genesis chapter 1 KJV) Follow?
Following the “mathematics” of the Catholic church, Friday night (when he was buried) would be the first night…the whole day of Saturday becomes the first day…Saturday night becomes the 2nd night…so, that would only sum up – I day & 2 nights. Even if we counted Friday as the 1st day, and Friday night as the 1st night…Saturday as the 2nd day and Saturday night as the 2nd night…and let us also count Sunday as the 3rd day – we’d still come up short – a total of 3days & 2nights. With this computation – we’ll fail mathematics.
I’ll give you my basic countdown…
1.Christ was crucified 3pm on a Wednesday…
2. Buried just a little before 6pm (which is already a special Sabbath that week)
3. Next day-Thursday was a special Sabbath (Feast of the Unleavened Bread) – people are forbid to work.
4. Friday – a common workday (the women bought spices and prepared when they reached home)
5. Saturday (a weekly Sabbath where work is forbidden) – Christ rose a little past 6pm (start of Sunday)
Conclusion: 6pm of Wednesday to 6pm of Saturday would easily sum up exactly 72 hours – a clear 3days&3nights.
Bonus: The Feast of the Passover (known in the Catholic church as the Last Supper) was celebrated by Jesus & company on the eve of Tuesday. That night after the dinner, Jesus went out to pray and was arrested. Also that night about dawn, Peter denied him 3x. Morning of Wednesday – he was convicted before Pilate and was made to carry the Roman cross to Golgotta. There, he was mocked and crucified…and at 3pm – he died.
Another bonus: Good Friday is being celebrated by millions of Catholics all over the world – unaware of the “mystery” behind this day. Friday is the feast day of a Roman goddess ( I’ll keep the details) who’s pagan symbol was “fish” During the pagan’s celebration of this day – they feast on “fish” and avoid “meat of animals”.
(Upon solving this – I became so curious of solving the month of Jesus’ birth…Thanks God I did)
E-mail me…you guys out there if you want to know the TRUTH about this season of LENT.
God bless…

Do you realize you a quoting a REALLY old book, and not much more? Try thinking outside the box. Isn't there a slight chance that HE NEVER ROSE FROM THE DEAD and the bible is nothing more that STORIES to instill good morals in Christians?

None of it happened, not the Crucifixion, nor the Whale episode.. It's all a big Faerie Tale, which has brainwashed a large amount of people who can't think for themselves and really read into the impossibilities of it... They are the Clones.. Love and Light.. BB )O(
