OK, so you agree that there would only be two daytimes as well as only two nighttimes with a Friday crucifixion.
What distinction, Friday is the 6th day of the week.
You're going to have to explain that one.

Is it O.K. if the topic includes the post's title?
Day of the Crucifixion?
Probably, but that would not be because they've studied it out fully, to rationally resolve the conflicts.
My view is that Jesus was crucified on the 4th day of the week, our Wednesday, on the Passover, the Day of Preparation before the Annual High Day Sabbath, the 5th day of the week, our Thursday in this case, however, the Annual High Day Sabbath occurs on Nisan 15, regardless of what day of the week it falls on.
Nisan 14, the Passover, the Day of Preparation before the Annual High Day Sabbath, falls on our Wednesday about 1 out of every 3 years.
I believe a Wednesday crucifixion resolves all the alleged difficulties in the various verses regarding it.
That is just one point where the narrative has to rely on an awkward stretch that does not consider Jesus' words about His being in the grave being a direct fulfillment of the Prophecy in Jonah.
And Jesus didn't lie.
Just to mention it, this 'preparation' would simply be on the 6th day, our Friday, before the second of three Sabbaths that took place during the Seven Days of Unleavened Bread.
That 'preparation' would be preparing for the normal, weekly Sabbath, on our Saturday.
This graphic shows the 3 Preparation Days, Nisan 14, 16, & 20, and 3 Sabbaths, 15, 17, & 21, with the 3rd Sabbath during the Seven Days of Unleavened Bread, being a second High Day Annual Sabbath, on Nisan 21.
Then, what if it neither. We need to be in the Bible to gather our facts, don't we?
That's a great place to look, since that is where Jesus pointed that can help us understand the day He was crucified.
Much can be said about this specific scripture, as to what it means and what it doesn't, or can't, mean.
Above.
That's right, this graphic shows the Crucifixion Week and were those 2 Sabbaths fall, on Nisan 15 & 17.
This Preparation Day would have been on Nisan 14, for the Annual High Sabbath Day, on Nisan 15.
Third choice, unless that is just something you're curious about, would be to start in the Book.
And I guess I need to start a New Thread, or more than one maybe.
Sorry, the title was poorly conceived with regard to the intent of the topic. It was clarified in the first post.
That would be a good idea.

The explanation being Jewish days of a week are sundown to sundown. The Roman named days are from midnight to midnight.
So, you're saying that if the term "Friday" is used that it can only be referring to a day which begins at midnight. But, that the phrase "6th day" can refer both to a day starting at sundown or midnight? And, that if "Friday" is used that there would be 4 nighttimes involved with a "Friday" crucifixion?
