Hellooooooo...McFly!

Do a search for "third day"

You will realize that the event of the crucifixion is
counted into the FIRST DAY.

Contrast this with: Luke 24:13-21

Here we have two people walking along on a nifty
Sunday.  They state that this Sunday is the third
day since the crucifixion.  What does this mean?

Thursday sunset to Friday sunset = 1st day
Friday sunset to Saturday sunset = 2nd day
Saturday sunset to Sunday sunset = 3rd day

This does NOT allow the Wednesday crucifixion.

For additional education (and possibly a harmonization?)

This is a xtian site arguing FOR the traditional, and
correct, Friday crucifixion.
