So Jesus would Have been in the Grave Wednesday night, Thursday daytime and Thursday night, Friday daytime, Friday night, Saturday daytime and Jesus rose right before the sun went down on Saturday. Hence one has the 3 days and 3 nights which Jesus prophesied.
Ok so John's gospel says that Jesus' trial and execution is the day before Passover, right? Why would Jesus break bread 2 days before Passover? Because He knew He would be in the grave? I follow and believe everything you said, and that makes sense to me. I believe that the devil has twisted it up somewhere is the traditions of men because people celebrating the true days of Christ's glory is just too powerful for his cause. He twisted it somewhere but you are on to something definitely! Good work!You would get a full understanding if you read the full lesson. I had to break it up in parts, but I'll try to explain.
Jesus was always being inquired of by the Jews for a sign. He gave them one in reference to His death and resurrection. He told them that just like Jonas, He would be in the earth 3 days and 3 nights. In the Gospel of John Jesus again gave the Jews a sign by telling them if this temple was destroyed He would raise it up in 3 days. Jesus was referring to His body. (Matthew 12:38) Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 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.
Let's take another look at it (John 2:18) Then answered the Jews and said unto him, “What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?” (19) Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. (20) Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? (21) But he spake of the temple of his body.
Jesus makes it clear the time between His death and resurrection would be 3 days and 3 nights.
Now despite the fact that Jesus Himself said that He would be in the grave 3 days and 3 nights, man has come up with the tradition of Jesus dying on Good Friday and rising early Sunday morning. In following this tradition, not only does one not observe one of God's Holy Days, which is the Passover, they directly deny the words of Jesus. It was Jesus who gave the sign of being in the grave 3 days and 3 nights. The tradition of Good Friday and Easter clearly does not line up with scripture. Because following this tradition the maximum one has Jesus in the grave is 1 day and 2 nights.
According to tradition, if Jesus had died on Friday, He would have been in the grave Friday night, Saturday day and Saturday night. One would not count Sunday because in John (20:1) it states that the 1st day of the week which is Sunday, Mary came to the grave site when it was still dark. In Luke (24:1-6) They find that the stone which was placed in front of the sepulcher had been removed and an angel tells them that Jesus had already risen.

This is the short version of this lesson, but the version is posted here.
Now remember God's days start at evening and end the next evening. Keep that in mind as you view the next set of scriptures. Jesus had been betrayed by Judas the evening of the Passover. John 13 tells how Jesus and His disciples, that evening, were sharing the Passover meal. John (18:3) shows that same evening; Jesus was betrayed and taken away. It was still nighttime when they took Jesus, because the men that came and took and bound Him had lanterns and torches.
Jesus was crucified the next day but it was still the Passover. Remember God's days run from sundown to sundown. Jesus had been taken into custody the night of the Passover and the next morning which is the day of the Passover, He was condemned and crucified.
The following verses deomonstrate how Pilate was willing to release Jesus the morning after he had been taken in to custody. It was still the Passover. We all know the Jews refused and Jesus was crucified.
(John 18:39) But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews? (40) Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
Remember Mark (15:42) Joseph craved the body of Jesus the evening of the Passover. Now one can see that this was towards the end of the Passover.
3 Days And 3 Nights
The scriptures explain how Jesus was in the earth 3 days and 3 nights just as He had foretold.

That's because Jesus went into His grave right before the end of the Passover or Wed. evening. The passing of the Passover brought in the Feast of the Unleavened Bread. So Jesus would Have been in the Grave Wednesday night, Thursday daytime and Thursday night, Friday daytime, Friday night, Saturday daytime and Jesus rose right before the sun went down on Saturday. Hence one has the 3 days and 3 nights which Jesus prophesied.
The "church" (ek-klesia, called-out assembly) in the wilderness is simply God's OT people before Canaan.
How is the Sabbath involved?
Eyewitnesses have proven that innocent men go to their graves- that is all I see there. Since the 1990s, when DNA testing was first introduced, Innocence Project researchers have reported that 73 %of the 239 convictions overturned through DNA testing were based on eyewitness testimony.Except the eyewitnesses on the road to Emmaus prove that your scenario is wrong...

I just post out of the Bible what's written.

No, He makes it clear He would rise ON the third day. He states that multiple times to His disciples, and the testimony of the disciples who met Christ on the road to Emmaus confirms it is true. So either Christ was contradicting Himself or we recognise that the expression "3 days and 3 nights" is an example of synecdoche, where the whole (day and night) refers to the part (the early morning, the late afternoon). Synecdoche is very common in the Scriptures, though the more common form is where the part refers to the whole. When you recognise that "3 days and 3 nights" is a figure of speech then the apparent contradictions vanish.Jesus makes it clear the time between His death and resurrection would be 3 days and 3 nights.
He died about three pm.No. Passover is on 14 Nisan, a Friday that year. He died that day at the same time the lambs were being sacrificed.
He died about three pm.
Were the lambs slaughtered that early?
All of the Gospels are based on eyewitness accounts. Where does that leave you?Eyewitnesses have proven that innocent men go to their graves- that is all I see there.

There is no such thing as a High Sabbath that does not fall on the 7th day Sabbath. It is a man made tradition to try and accomodate a literal reading of "three days and three nights" and conveniently ignores the many times Jesus told His disciples He would rise on the 3rd day, as well as the Emmaus testimony.Here is a thursday view.
Was Jesus Crucified on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday? » Reasons for Hope* Jesus
Hebrews count days from sundown to sundown. It's perfectly feasible for Christ to have died before sundown Friday which is day 1, lie in the grave the entire sabbath sundown to sundown fulfilling the demand of the Sabbath: day 2, resurrected sometime after sundown sabbath and before sunrise Sunday the third day.Well, the fact that Jesus didn't die on good Friday and rise Sunday morning, may affected some people. Unless you can get three day and three night from Good Friday to Sunrise Sunday Morning service.
I was too distracted by your sabbath agenda to hear anything else you had to say.Did you take time and read the lesson in total to get understanding? The lessons had to continue from one
You're counting nights and days in accordance with
contemporary reasoning and not with knowledge of
how nights and days are counted in the Bible.
It wasn't.
It was a Seudah HaMafsekhet...literally the "last supper"
before the fast of the firstborn on the 14th.
There is no such thing as a High Sabbath
that does not fall on the 7th day Sabbath.
