3 Days 3 Nights

Matthew 12:40
"For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."

3 Days & 3 Nights :
As Jesus prophecies has been fulfilled precisely, this also had been took place as usual. When we examine the Crucifixion on Friday - You cannot have the 3 days & the 3 nights, as said in prophecy. So where does we misplaced? As from Scriptures we know 'Resurrection' was on 'the first day of the week began to dawn' - i.e Sunday (half day over- as per Jewish timings[1] ) we need to sketch on which day Crucifixion Occurred? (Here not going to explain all the Clues or Links, but the pictures will explain. I don't want you to believe this, but as from the arrangement, you can check it yourselves)

Sabbat:
There are Sabbat  apart from the ordinary Saturday Sabbats. (See here under The Sabbatical and Jubilee Years).  The Gospels give account of High or Greater Sabbats - on regarding with Fest of Unleavened bread (Mark 14:1, John 19:31, Matthew 27:62) . While the Gospels also give us information of 'preparation day' (Matthew 27:62, Mark 15:42, Luke 12:54, John 19:42) And the evening starts First day of Unleavened bread (Matthew 27:17, Mark 14:12, Luke 22:11).

Leviticus 23:
4 These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord's passover.
6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

Thursday:

10th Nissan - bring the lamb Exodus 12:3 for Houses of Israel - Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem.
14th Nissan at twilight -Exodus 12:6 Kill the lamb & passover - Just after the preparation day.
15th Nissan is Festival of unleavened bread & Sabbat.

Thus we came in to conclusion that the crucifixion was took place on same preparation day, i.e 14th Nissan - four days after Sunday.


Crucifixion to Resurrection:

If you carefully read prophecy, its 3 days & 3 nights, not 3 nights & 3 days. So from the light of Gospels we can see burial in tomb was occurred in partial day on 14th Nissan, before sunset. Thus makes the first day light in starting with day in '3 days'. 

After sun set the Greater Sabbat starts. As you can see Women of 2 groups. One was, women who followed him from Galilee (Luke 23:55-56) who bought the spices before starting Sabbat and lack of time, they rested for Sabbats. While other group Mary Magdalene & Mary -Mother of Joses, stayed there at tomb (Mark 15:47). They only bought the spices after Saturday Sabbat, i.e after sunset of Saturday (Sunday begin after sunset) and gone to tomb on morning (See above picture).

As it was already planned with greater perfection, we can see the prophecies full filled perfectly, 3 days & 3 nights, as well as all the timings in accordance with the passover lamb.

Matthew 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
Precise Prophecy & Sign of Messiah for Pharisees as they asked.


[1] - Jewish day starts after sun set - approximately its after 6 pm. A day will be 6 pm to 6 pm (24 Hours).
