Your nonsense.
Sundown, Mark 1:32, ". . . at even, when the sun did set, . . ."
Folks, on and on, the false nonsense is posted ad infinitum.

Jesus ate His last supper on our Thursday evening, after sundown, which by their custom was the beginning of Friday, Preparation day. Later that same Friday, he was taken prisoner, convicted, beaten, killed, taken from the cross and put in the tomb just before the start of Saturday.

This view is supported by all scripture, including (Matthew 26:17–25; Mark 14:12-16 Luke 22:7–13; John 13:21–30 )

Mark 15:42 NASB
When it was already evening, because it was the day of preparation (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

Here again we see a verse often misconstrued. If we study the word rendered "evening" we find it can refer to a period from about 3:00 PM in the afternoon to about 6:00 PM or from about 6:00 PM to the beginning of night, which corresponds to the beginning of the next day, which in this case is the Sabbath.

Thus late on the Day of Preparation, Jesus was taken down and placed in the tomb.

That is how you believe the evidence.

You still do not give the Jewish calendar dates.

I have addressed from scripture why Jesus died on Preparation Day, and arose on Sunday, the day after that Sabbath.

On Friday, the day before the Sabbath, which is a Saturday, Christ died before sundown.
He was placed in a tomb.
He was in the tomb part of Friday, day one.
He was in the tomb all day Saturday, day two.
He was in the tomb part of Sunday, day three.

Three days and three nights simply refers to the day after tomorrow. The phrase is an idiom.

Back in the first century, math was not handled with the methods used today, so they used inclusive counting, i.e Friday was day one rather than Saturday.

Nothing in scripture contradicts this view. Full Stop

Not really. You indeed believe you have. You continue not to give any real dates for your view of the events.

And I have repeatedly posted we do not know the exact dates. I have attended several different Baptist churches on Easter and all in my memory celebrated "Good Friday."

Some folks think Friday to Sunday is not correct because it does not seem to mesh with "three days and three nights." However, I have presented a well accepted explanation for that difficulty.

On Friday, the day before the Sabbath, which is a Saturday, Christ died before sundown.
He was placed in a tomb.
He was in the tomb part of Friday, day one.
He was in the tomb all day Saturday, day two.

There are exact Biblical dates. And there are, for the New Testament exact histotical dates that can be given for those Jewish calendar dates. And all you have is denial.
Mark 14:12 being the 14th per Exodus 12:6-20.

@Van thinks this to be Friday evening before sunset. Which most Christians commonly believe.

Based upon Mark 14:12 - Mark 15:42 and Jewish days beginning with their evenings, I understand Mark 15:42 to be Thursday evening after sunset. The the day of preparation being from Thursday evening to Friday evening being the beginning of the seventh day Sabbath at sunset.

Folks, the absurd posts continue unabated. When was Jesus killed, on the Sabbath or on the day before the Sabbath? On the day before. Thus Jesus died, and was taken down and placed in the tomb on Friday before the start of the Sabbath at sundown.
