On the morowe after the Saboth, early in the morninge, they came vnto the toumbe and brought the odoures which they had prepared and other women with them.
24:2 And they founde the stone rouled awaye from the sepulchre,
24:3 and wente in, but founde not the bodye of the Lorde Iesu.


The tomb was empty on Sunday which implies he left it the day before.

Sunday began on Saturday at sunset

If you want Jesus dead on Friday then he has to of risen on Sunday night for that would equal three days and three nights. He had risen before early Sunday morning which means he had to of risen on Saturday night or at day light, other wise you are half a night out by saying he rose early Sunday morning. So Jesus died Wednessday evening. He can not of died Thursday evening because that would mean he rises Sunday after the ladies came to the tomb.
Now considering that, just to make a little harder, there is a seven hour time difference from Israel to Australia.
Night which means he would of died thursday.

We know without a doubt He died and was put in the tomb on Friday before sunset and rose on Sunday. We have 2 witnesses on the road to Emmaus.

"Timing" is subject to change. Subject to further investigation, study and prayer, or revelation in line with God's Word, as/ when/ if/ God sees fit so to do.
Truth does not change.

Early morning could be anywhere from 12 am to 10 pm, ten hour frame. We don't actually know at what time the ladies came to the tomb.
John's gospel says it was still dark, so it was obviously before dawn.

I've explained why it is not three 24 hour periods. You have not made any attempt to show why "3 days and 3 nights" isn't a figure of speech.
He had risen before early Sunday morning which means he had to of risen on Saturday night or at day light, other wise you are half a night out by saying he rose early Sunday morning.

All this has been explained if you had been paying attention.

Thought this might be of interest to some of you.

The Iewes then because it was the saboth euen, that the bodyes shoulde not remayne vpon the crosse on the saboth day (for that Saboth daye was an hye daye) besought Pylate that theyr legges myghte be broken, and that they myghte be taken doune.

20:1 The morowe after the Saboth daye came Mary Magdalene early when it was yet darcke, vnto the sepulchre, and saw the stone taken awaye from that toumbe.

These verse also provide some very interesting and definitive proof of when Jesus died, and thus when He was resurrected. Jesus Himself said several times that His time in the tomb -

( the tomb is: hell, grave, sheol and hinnom. )

would be three days and three nights, just as the prophet Jonah had spent three days and nights in the fish's belly (see Matthew 12:38-40; 27:63; Mark 8:31; John 2:18-22). This in itself rules out a Friday crucifixion-Sunday resurrection because there is no way to cram three days and three nights between sunset on Friday and sunrise on Sunday.

If Jesus rose exactly three days and three nights after His burial (just before sunset; see Matthew 27:46; Mark 15:34), the only candidate for His resurrection is the very end of the Sabbath at sunset. Counting back three full days, then, Jesus must have died on the previous Wednesday night. Mary found his Tomb empty on Sunday which means he rose Saturday.

A Jewish day starts when the sun goes down. So Friday daylight is a separate day than Friday after sundown (which would have been the start of the Sabbath). And after Saturday sundown would also be the start of a new day. So long as Jesus was buried before sunset Friday and rose after sunset Saturday he would have been in the grave over the span of three different days. 3 days are important as it was prophetic and what Jesus himself said but he fulfills this from Friday daylight to early morning Sunday perfectly fine.

Another important element is that Jesus was in the grave before Sabbath and remained in the grave for the entire Sabbath. In doing this, completed by the resurrection, Jesus is the only one to fully rest on the Sabbath thereby fulfilling the law of the Sabbath since the logic of it eventually points to our very breath.

The tomb was empty on Sunday which implies he left it the day before.
The implication you're making here is directly contradicted by a scripture that says he rose early on the first day of the week.
