LOL..now this is not a subject that I have done personal study on but I have heard some theories??? 

I have heard some people say that is was Wednesday and he rose sometime coming into Sunday morning...but wouldn't that technically be a fourth day???

I have even heard some say Thursday, making Sunday when he got up exactly the third day??

I don't know to be honest with you but I have disown the Friday death many years ago cuz that just does not make sense.

@Mrs H,

Lol, i am with you....i dont proclaim that he was buried on a Friday either.  I dont get into debates about it because it matters not to me what day of the week he was buried, i am just excited that he died, and he rose again...umnn, i feel a leap around the church coming on...ahhtata.

But i hoped that someone would have some clarity maybe from the greek bible or something.....

There are times when the Hebrews used ‘day and night’ to mean only a portion of a solar day of 24 hours. For example, 1 Kings 12:5, 12 tells of Rehoboam’s asking Jeroboam and the Israelites to “go away for three days” and then return to him. That he did not mean three full 24-hour days but, rather, a portion of each of three days is seen by the fact that the people came back to him “on the third day.”

At Matthew 12:40 the same meaning is given to the “three days and three nights” of Jesus’ stay in Sheol. As the record shows, he was raised to life on “the third day.” The Jewish priests clearly understood this to be the meaning of Jesus’ words, since, in their effort to block his resurrection, they quoted Jesus as saying: “After three days I am to be raised up,” and then they requested Pilate to issue a command for “the grave to be made secure until the third day.”—Mt 27:62-66; 28:1-6; note other examples in Ge 42:17, 18; Es 4:16; 5:1.
