Yes and No!
If Jesus had died (and was buried) on Friday, he would have been 3 days in the tomb, since the Jews counted as a day even a fraction of that day. And a day begun at sundown. That is, Jesus would have been in the tomb for a very short time Friday, Saturday, and several hours of Sunday. However, I agree that would have been only 2 nights (Fri to Sat and Sat to Sun) and that has bothered me for a while since Jesus Himself said He would be in the tomb for 3 days and 3 nights.
Knowing that the decree to rebuild the temple was most likely issued on 444 BC, and following Daniel's prophecy, it seems that the best guess for the crucifixion is 33 AD. Does anybody know how to find out if Nissan 14 of that year was a Thursday or a Friday?
Yes. The traditional understanding was that Jesus rose on the third day. And it was also understood that the Jewish day begins with sunset, as one may gather from the wording in Genesis: “The evening and the morning of the first day” and so forth.
Because of the approaching Sabbath, the Jews asked Pontius Pilate to get the three crucifixions over with before sundown on Friday, so as not to dishonor the Sabbath.
The usual understanding is that Jesus began His public life at age 30, and died when he was 33. But it is not absolutely certain when Jesus was born. It is thought that probably there was a small miscalculation in deciding when the year 1 AD took place (from the various reigns described at the beginning of the Gospels), and the probably Jesus was born in 4 BC or maybe 7 BC. No absolute certainty about that, as far as I have heard. That is only significant if you have doubts about the gospel accounts and want to prove that the day given for the Sabbath disagrees with the day given for Passover.
