    ... if 'someone new' will understand what you want, perhaps.

    Strats, here is a little sugar sachet wisdom that may benefit you,

    [I believe the author is / was a renowned Swiss natural healing specialist or something, Pierre Schmidt. I hope he cured attitude as well.]

    "Truth always expresses itself with the greatest simplicity."

    I'm afraid that I don't see what that has to do with my request in the OP. Perhaps you could elaborate?

    Here is your OP,

    >>Whenever the three days and three nights of Matthew 12:40 is brought up in a "discussion" with 6th day crucifixion folks, they frequently argue that it is a Jewish idiom for counting any part of a day as a whole day. I wonder if anyone has documentation that shows that the phrase "x" days and "x"nights was ever used in the first century or before when it didn’t include at least parts of the "x" days and at least parts of the "x" nights?<<

    I am - for one - too simple a man to understand what you say; it's not SIMPLE enough for me. First.

    Next, WHAT, is the TRUTH which you want to explain or establish or confirm?

    That 'the phrase "x" days and "x"nights was in fact used in the first century or before', but did 'not include' any parts of the "x" days' or 'at least parts of the "x" nights'?

    Please forgive me, but I cannot make head or tail of what you mean.

    I can at best guess that you meant, Was the phrase from Matthew 12 and Jonas 2, "three days and three nights" used in Christian documents in the first century or before?

    And the answer is of course, yes! In Matthew 12:40 and Jonas 1:17.

    Last, So I gave you the New Testament passages that exactly define and make clear which those "three days and three nights" that comprised the "three days" OF THE WEEK to which Jesus referred, HISTORICALLY, were. the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Days-of-the-week.

    Clarity and simplicity, dear Strats. Just simplicity and clarity ... as Schmidt said in which TRUTH expresses itself. May I add, simplicity, clarity and tolerance or patience towards the simpleminded like me.

    Gerhard Ebersoehn,

    re: "...WHAT, is the TRUTH which you want to explain or establish or confirm?"


    Do you have any documentation that shows an example from the first century or before regarding a period of time that is said to consist of a specific number of days as well as a specific number of nights where the period of time absolutey doesn't/can't include at least parts of each one of the specific number of days and at least parts of each one of the specific number of nights?

    Gerhard,

    I have no idea what that means. I wonder if you might explain?

    Revmitchell,

    re: "How many forums on the internet are you going to post this on?"

    As many as I can find, or until someone comes up with the requested writing . Any particular reason for asking?

    This is the most disfunctional thread I have ever read. One would think if Jesus were buried Thursday, Friday, and Saturday instead of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, it would change the nature of our salvation.

    Maybe a rewording of the OP will make it a little more clear:

    Whenever the three days and three nights of Matthew 12:40 is brought up in a “discussion” with 6th day crucifixion proponents, they frequently argue that it is a Jewish idiom for counting any part of a day as a whole day. I wonder if anyone has documentation that shows that a phrase stating a specific number of days as well as a specific number of nights was ever used in the first century or before when it absolutely couldn't have included at least a part of each one of the specific number of days and at least a part of each one of the specific number of nights?​

    Why request it from others -- who obviously do not have it or they would have given it to you -- WHILE YOU HAVE IT YOURSELF ALL THE TIME OR YOU WOULD NOT HAVE ASKED ABOUT IT?!

    RStrats, you all by yourself are a practice session in patience for others!

    Yes, I believe >>they<< do "frequently argue that it is a Jewish idiom for counting any part of a day as a whole day."

    Of course it's nonsense from pettifogger grammarians.

    Therefore why take it so serious? It's rubbish man!

    But someone new looking in may know of some writing.
     


    re: "...WHILE YOU HAVE IT YOURSELF ALL THE TIME..."

    If I knew of some writing I wouldn't be asking for it.

    The topic of this thread being - or is supposed to be "Three days and three nights", how about ...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_boneyard
    Aircraft boneyard is a term for a storage area for aircraft that are retired from service. Most aircraft at boneyards are either kept for storage or turned into scrap metal. Deserts, such as those in the Southwestern United States, are good locations for boneyards since the dry conditions reduce corrosion.QE

    I suppose therefore the date and day entered in the logbook of each of these ‘stored’, ‘retired’ and ‘kept’ airplanes will the ‘BONE-DAY’ of each?!

    “…to be turned into scrap…” in fact!
    But of Jesus Christ it was written, that “being delivered by the DETERMINATE counsel and foreknowledge / providence / CARE of God—God having loosed the pains of death [in his service in life] … foresaw that (He) should not be moved [away ‘for scrap’, but that] (his) flesh shall rest in hope [of restoration / resurrection]. Because Thou wilt not leave my soul / life in hell [of ‘service’ / ‘action’ in “the SUFFERING / PASSOVER of Yahweh”] or allow thine Holy One—[“speaking of …” His Grave]—to SEE CORRUPTION / undergo dissembling of “FLESH” / or ‘severance’ or ‘braking’ of “BONES”. But God seeing this before, spake of the RESURRECTION of Christ [“on the third day”], that his soul was not left in hell [of faithful SUFFERING IN LIFE], neither his flesh did see corruption [under faithful WATCH of God in the GRAVE].”

    “According to the Scriptures” : “THREE DAYS” :
    1, IN LIVE HELL, Abib 14;
    2, IN GRAVE [ ‘bone-yard’] IN DEATH—‘motionlessness’ / “not being moved”, Abib 15;
    3, IN “RESURRECTION, FROM, the dead”, Abib 16—“SANCTUARY CLEANSED” 2Chronicles 29:17c.
