I asked this below question about a dozen times in a previous thread.
....Is Sunday (the first day of the week) the third day?
I was not able to get a single response from Wednesdayers. I know it poses problems, but I'm sure there's an answer.
Our Wednesday evening - 6pm to 6am is the first part of Thursday - night part of thursday
Thursday from 6am to 6pm - day part of thursday (Christ not put in grave just before 6pm)
Thursday 6pm to 6am - FIRST FULL EVENING - night part of Friday
Friday 6am to 6pm - FIRST FULL DAY - day part of Friday
Friday 6pm to 6am - SECOND FULL EVENING - night part of Saturday
Saturday 6am to 6pm. - SECOND FULL DAY - day part of Saturday
Saturday 6pm. to 6am - THIRD FULL EVENING - night part of Sunday
Sunday 6am to 6pm - THIRD FULL DAY - day part of Sunday
The Lord's Supper after 6pm on our Wednesday their Thursday evening and trials all through the evening.
Christ on the cross on thursday but not put into grave until just before 6 pm
Hence, Sunday between 6am and 6pm would be THE THIRD FULL DAY since the resurrection and burial of Christ.
No, neither scenario matches what I provided for you. He did not get into the tomb until just before 6 pm on Friday evening (our thursday evening) Hence, Friday evening would be the first full night while Friday day (6am to 6pm) would be the first full daying making Sunday 6am-6pm the third full day.Okay, but it still doesn't work. Here are charts from both the common and jewish perspective of days. You can clearly see Sunday cannot possibly be the third day in either scenario, even if counting is delayed until Thursday night (the start of Friday). In both scenarios, If the crucifixion is Wednesday, Saturday is the third day since the happenings on Thursday.

And frankly, the counting shouldn't be delayed because the crucifixion started in the morning, as did the handing over, which Cleopas includes in the timeline.

No, I don't believe he was crucified on Wednesday but observed the Lord's Supper on Wednesday evening. So, I take it you are aiming at those who believe in a Wednesday crucifixion? Sorry, misunderstood the Wednesday reference.So you don't believe he was crucified Wednesday?
Here is the chart according to the jewish perspective of days.

Or are you really advocating Jesus was not buried until 23 hours after he died?
Or perhaps you're advocating for Thursday?
The 14th was the day prior to its following evening 15th (Mark 14:12; Exodus 12:6; Exodus 12:18; Mark 14:17). The 15th was a holy day where no work would be done except food perperation (Leviticus 23:6-7). So Jesus' body could not b taken down from the cross until it (the 15th) ended that following evening (Mark 15:42).Christ on the cross on thursday but not put into grave until just before 6 pm

In 1969 I looked at the question Wedensday or Friday. R. A. Torrey in his book, Difficulties in the Bible, presented a Wednesday view. So I looked to the New Testament account itself to resolve the question. Jewish days begin in the evening. Mark 14:12 (Exodus 12:18) as the day before the following evening Mark 14:17. And that understanding also made the day before the Sabbath begin after the crucifixion, Mark 15:42.If you're a Wednesdayer, please address the OP.
....I discovered for myself that Thrusday was the day of the crucifixion. .....
There is no support for a Wednesday crucifixion, but there is both calendar and Scripture support for Thursday pre-dawn trials, morning travel, lifting of cross at 9:00AM, death at 3:00PM, burial by 6:00PM Thursday.
Both Wednesday or Friday does not conform to the Jews events and calendar.
Somewhere on this topic (not this thread) I shared a link to the Jewish festival aligned with the calendar of various years. To have a Friday crucifixion would place the Lord in his late thirties, not the age he actually was.I disagree. Luke 24 demands a Friday crucifixion by the Jewish calendar. Thursday would be too many days.

That isn’t the point.Sorry, this is fake news at best. Not sure where you got this, but it's ridiculous.
Luke 24 demands that Sunday was the 3rd day as it was still going on.
That isn’t the point.
Sunday was the resurrection morning. There is no way to get three days and three nights unless you have a Thursday before sundown burial.
You just need three days since the crucifixion, and three days and three nights since the arrest of Jesus. Thursday gives us four days, if Sunday is the ongoing third day.
The three days and three nights only works, if we start with Thursday night (from the common perspective of days). If you add Thursday day, you've got too many days.
When Jesus was walking on the road to Emmaus, Cleopas said, the third day was still passing.
Young's:
Luke 24:21 ….this third day is passing to-day, since these things happened.
This makes it crystal clear that the third day had not passed, but was happening at that moment while they were talking. This makes Friday our only option.
Mounce verifies this with his rendering, using the word "now."
Luke 24:21 ….Indeed besides all this, but it is now the third day since these things happened.
If Sunday is the 3rd day, Saturday is the 2nd, Friday is the 1st. Adding Thursday day gives us too many days. Also, Thursday is not the preparation day.
