I am a Christian and have been for a number of years, but for the first time I realised that I had no idea how long Jesus went through His trial before His cruxifiction.
So basically how many days was it from His arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane to being cruxified on the cross at Golgotha. When you read the Gospels it is not very clear. The only thing that is clear is what happened in between, going to Pilate, going to Herod, going back to Pilate - and was flogged, and Jesus was also imprisoned during this time. Was it all done in one day? Or did it happen over several days? The only time span we do know, and is very clear in the Bible is Christ was cruxified then He rose 3 days later.
Only serious and productive, nonjudgemental answers only please. Thank you

The reason I asked about days, is I had a discussion with a fellow Christian and they said it was days.
My view of it is if it was days then it would say so in The Bible. For how I read it is He was in Gethsemane on the day of the Last Supper, He prayed about the forthcoming events. Judas brought the soldiers and priests in the early hours. (We can see this from the prediction of Peter's denial, he will deny Christ 3 times before dawn). Then it is written about going to the different places. So basically my understanding of the time line is:
Thursday arrested, Friday tried, flogged and cruxified, Sunday rises from death.
I should have stated this first sorry for the confusion.
