oloriooko: If Jesus actually died on a Friday as believed by many people then He couldn't have risen on Sunday morning if He did spend three days in the grave!!!

Did Jesus actually die on a Friday or the day imposed on believers?

I think Jesus died on a Wednesday then it should be called a good Wednesday

Fhemmmy: Is it about the day He died or what He did that matters?

Image123:
The thing tire me o, my brother. It's simple na, except for people who know book too much. That's the difference between simple arithmetics and further mathematics. [b]Died on friday. Friday is 1ST DAY, Saturday is 2ND DAY, Sunday is 3RD DAY. Jesus rose on the third day.
"And they shall kill him, and THE THIRD DAY he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry."[b] (Matthew 17:23).

Tony Spike: Having done some research on this issue over the years, I would say I agree with Amor4ce opinion.

Now for the purpose of education, Jesus was crucified on a Wednesday, the day preceding the Passover Sabbath. In the Jewish culture, we have a conventional sabbath (Saturdays) and High/special Sabbaths. The Bible tells us that Jesus (Yashua) was crucified shortly before the Passover Sabbath (Thursday), which itself is a type of High Sabbath. I urge us all to do deep research into this issue. Google is your friend.
Now, if Jesus (Yashua) was crucified on a Wednesday, then the mathematics adds up that He resurrected on Saturday midnight as the scriptures foretold. This will give us 3 complete days of 24-hours (72 hours) each, instead of counting from Good Friday which is a slightly higher than 24 hrs.

Your can check this Wikipedia links for the types of Jewish Sabbath:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Shabbat

Nevertheless, the message of the risen Christ is the most important truth. That Jesus died for us is the greatest gift from God to Man. We must make use of the grace in His ressurection. The Easter celebrations, on the other hand, are no doubt human abstractions, preferably from the Roman empire times.

OP
I don't see your confusion here. 3 days is correct - Friday(died and buried)- 1 day,Saturdy (still in the grave)- 2nd day, and Sunday (rose from death)-3rd day. Hope you are not calculating 24 hours per day? Please don't allow too much arithematic to muddle a simple fact.

Shalom.

Too many 'brilliant' and 'wise' people on nl. Them wise pass Daniel sef

Jesus died on a friday according to the gospel accounts. At least 3 of them claimed he was crucified on the preparation day i.e a day before the sabbath day

yommy2sure: Sabbath was not sunday originally. Sunday was use as a day to worship the pegan sun-god, it was the emperor constantain wen he accepted christianity that tried to unite christianity with the pegan religeon of those days hence sabath was moved to sunday to worship the sun-of-God instead of the sun-god, hence the name sun-day. Jesus did not die on a friday! And the apostles who founded or established christianity did not celebrate easter, christmas, new year...these are all pegan celebrations infused into xtianity. The original celebrations in the old and new testament are passover, feast of the terbanacles etc. U can google some of the truth behind this things and read up for yourself!

Whymee:

do not just believe everything thrown at you cos that was how you grew up to meet them.

try finding out not to argue but to learn and be better.

Your challenge is marrying this passage with your level of education.

When He says "three days and three nights", it's a popular maxim kindof. it's similar to when you tell me "i'm coming", meanwhile, you're actually going. Or it's like in yoruba, you people say "it's been 3 days", while in reality, it might refer to a month or more.
