the chart you posted is very interesting, but very wrong.
Jesus himself tells us in Luke 13:31-35 how days are counted in the Bible. the “third day” is the day after tomorrow.
Luke 24 tells us Jesus rose on the first day of the week and further in verse 24:21 that it was the third day since he died. one merely needs to count to three to determine Jesus died on friday, just as Christians have taught and believed for close to 2,000 years.
friday - day one
saturday - day two
sunday - the third day

now, let’s count the days if this chart is correct and Jesus died on wednesday:

day one - wednesday
day two - thursday
day three - friday
day four - saturday
day five - sunday

the jews knew exactly what Jesus was saying when he said three days and three nights, it was just another way of saying three days.

Christians have always known on what day their Lord and Savior died and on what day He rose from the dead.

saying He died on wednesday is just another attack on the historic Christian faith, usually believed by those who deny many other aspects of historic, orthodox Christian belief.

I have no idea what the Julian calendar or now that Gregorian calendar says the days of the week were back then but we know God didn’t name days, he numbered them..
Leviticus tells us....
14th day of His first month, He, the unblemished lamb, was killed - 15th day (and a high sabbath)He laid, resting in the tomb , and the 16th day, He rose again as first fruits (first day of the next work week- first fruits, the day after the sabbath)

Leviticus and the gospels agree.. and man has been trying to mess with them (with help from the ultimate counterfeiter) ever since.

It may have been a man made Frig’sday, Saturnsday, Sun’sday that week two thousand years ago or maybe even Woden’s day, Thor’s day and Frig’sday- I struggled with that until I broke free of the Gregorian calendar..

but whatever man made day it was, it doesn’t bear out each year- regardless of the man made ancient gods and goddess names we use for the days of the week.

but traditions and the reliance on man’s calendar and not God’s timekeeping has blinded people and churches into accepting false premises..

Its no wonder Jews reject a greco roman latinized savior in large numbers by the name of Jesus. He is celebrated at different days than the jews are commanded to observe by the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and then hear from us that he fulfilled the feasts and hear us proclaim Him as being The Word that became flesh !

Nice sales job we do! Don’t even use the real English transliterated name that is actually found in our English versions of the Hebrew Scripture, Joshua..

That isnt saying the Jews are right with their feasts timing as it appears they may be a month off each year (or the age has been changed in a divinely ordained way- since they observed Passover when the sun was in Aries in ancient days- that doesn’t happen now until mid to late April-May today)

Father, forgive us for not fully understanding Your timekeeping and accepting man and Satan’s false timekeeping premises that are not biblical.
Help us to observe it like they did before our smartphones and wall calendars told us what day it was.

We are a deceived and really stiff necked people..
