Jesus said he'd be 3 days and 3 nights in the earth. If the resurrection had already occurred when the women arrived on Sunday morning, then that night before had been the 3rd night, i.e., Saturday night had been the 3rd night.
Friday night would have been the 2nd night.
Thursday night would have been the 1st night.
That would mean that Jesus was crucified on Thursday day.
Tradition, however, says that Jesus was crucified on a Friday. That would make Friday be a piece of a day (1), Satuday be the second day (2), and dawn on Sunday be a piece of a third day (3). Friday night would be first night (1). Saturday night would be the second night (2), and there would be no third night.
There is data to back up either position. One can go with Jesus prophecy or with the tradition: Which one is your choice and why?

According to "tradition" Jesus was born 4 or 5 years after he was actually born. I suspect that if tradition is off by 4 or 5 years on his birthday, they could also be 1 or 2 days off on his death day.
I'll go with scripture. He was three days and three nights in the belly of the earth. He must have been in the grave on Friday morning. There's no other way to slice it.

I always thought it was Holy Thursday. Buried Friday morning, then rose on the third day (Sunday).
Welcome to FreeRepublic... and I always thought it was on a Friday.
And the Shepard’s were watching their flocks in December too? I did not know that the palm trees bloomed in the fall. Are there no braches on the trees in the spring?
I dispute this statement. There is only one verse in the Bible that specifically mentions when Our Saviour was resurrected....and it wasn't Sunday morning. Verse 6 says For He is risen!
Most translations will show the this event to be happening either late on the Sabbath or in the end of the Sabbath. The original Greek makes no mistake about it. The women have come to the tomb late on the Sabbath and Our Saviour has already risen.
Either one of these years 30 a.d. or 27 a.d. could be the year of crucifixion. The year 33 a.d., accepted by main stream Christianity, could not be the year as Passover preparation (Nisan 14) is on a Friday .....not leaving any possibility of there being two separate Sabbaths that week. And we know from John 19:31 that there were definitely two.
Luke 23:54 further confirms that the body was placed in the tomb shortly before sunset and being in the tomb since late Wednesday afternoon, 72 hours as Matthew 12:40 stipulates, he would have risen late Saturday afternoon.... on the Sabbath.
I have no problem with that the article was on what day was Christ Crucified.
I have often wondered when did God change the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday? The people of that day would be accustomed to the Sabbath being on Saturday not Sunday.
If I had said I’ll meet you this Sabbath at the temple you would have been there on Saturday.
Can anyone answer the question of when did the Sabbath change from Saturday to Sunday? It had been on Saturday for about 4000 years up to the time of Christ.
Constantine in 321 a.d. made it the official day of rest for the newly formed Church/State of Rome.
I would of thought that it was earlier than that but it does make since for Constantine to of changed it to Sunday that was when the rest of the Pagans met too.
It would have been a lot less confusing. I could of said I’ll meet you at the tree to worship at 6 a.m. on the Sabbath and you and I would have been there on Sun-day.
A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
*Ever notice how the one lone "proof" text differs from the other ("third day") passages?
Matthew 12:39-40
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Who is this son of man? The one who spends three days and three nights in the heart of the earth?
Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Revelation 11:7-12
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
Mar 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Mar 15:35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elijah. Mar 15:36 And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down. Mar 15:37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
If He croaked a bit after the 9th hour on Friday and came back to life early Sunday, well, he wasn't Christ, since Christ had to stay in the tomb 3 days and 3 nights, right?
Mat 12:40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
The above statement is a contradiction. How can a day end at sundown and a new day begin at sunrise? The Holy scriptures divide God's days into evening and morning....one day. The new day begins at sundown.
