been a while since I stuck my nose in... Oh, well, feet first....
Yeshua said He would be in the earth as Jov was in the whale "3 days and 3 nights."
And in Scripture we read, Yeshua said, (Mattisyahu 12)
38 At this some of the Torah-teachers said, "Rabbi, we want to see a miraculous sign from you." 39 He replied, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign? No! None will be given to it but the sign of the prophet Yonah. 40 For just as Yonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea-monster,so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the depths of the earth.
I posit that the time of this discussion was at sunset on Tuesday (3rd day), thus making it the 4th day (Wednesday). Since one has removed all leven one is therfore forbidden from eating leven thence forth until the end of the Festival, Making it the "first day for matzah."
Scripture zstates Yeshua was sacrificed on Preparation Day....
Luke 23
It was Preparation Day, and a Shabbat was about to begin.
Yochanan 19
It was Preparation Day, and the Judeans did not want the bodies to remain on the stake on Shabbat, since it was an especially important Shabbat.
But the lambs would not be killed at the Temple until that afternoon, giving the people enough time to roast the lambs and to eat them starting between the beginning of sunset and the onset of complete darkness.
Thus, Yeshua would have raised from the grave some tie after sunset at the end of Shabbat/7th day. For Him to do this AND fulfill His promise to be in the earth "3 days and 3 nights," He would have had to be placed in the grave just before Sunset on what we call Wednesday (but to the Jews was the end of the 4th day of the week) and arose after Sunset on the end of the 7th day (Shabbat). Thus, night and day of the 5th day, night and day of the 6th day and night and day of the 7th day, making a total of 3 days and 3 nights. That is, in our parlance today: Wednesday night, Thursday day and night, Friday day and night and Saturday day - 3 days and 3 nights.
Then, Yochanan 20
1 "Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Miryam from Magdala went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb."

Here we go again. The SIGN was not the 3 days/nights. It was His resurrection from the dead. Remember He also said destroy this temple and I will rebuild it IN THREE DAYS. Other scriptures say ON THE 3rd DAY and IN THREE DAYS. You imply the SIGN to believe in is that He was dead. Why would anyone believe in Him as Messiah because he was dead? Interesting "translation" you use. You might want to read the entire thread...
