Christ didn’t die on a Friday. He died at even on the day of preparation for the high sabbath known as the Passover. It was NOT the weekly sabbath (Friday). Friday crucifixion is a Catholic false teaching.

Jesus was three days and three nights in the heart of the earth, just as Noah was in the belly of whale/great fish— Matthew 12:40.

uummm, that would be Jonah (you knew that)

In Isaiah it says that he would be numbered among the transgressors....it fulfilled prophesy.

"It was NOT the weekly sabbath (Friday). Friday crucifixion is a Catholic false teaching."

#1 It was on a Friday.
#2 If you knew what a high Sabbath was, you wouldn't be in error like you are.
#3 It is not a false teaching, it is correct teaching.
#4 It is not just a Catholic teaching. I am not Catholic and I know when the crucifixion was.

There is a bit of a problem with the narrative for the Wednesday crucifixion theory, especially in the book of Luke. The women saw the tomb, went home and started preparing spices, rested on the Sabbath, bought more spices after sundown on Saturday, and went to the tomb early on Sunday to begin preparing the body at the first available moment of non-Sabbath daylight. If the Sabbath in question was a special Sabbath on a Thursday, they would have gone to prepare the body at first light of the first non-Sabbath day, which was Friday.

Another problem for the Wednesday crucifixion theory is the interchangeable use of “three days and three nights” and “the third day.” Maybe you could make the case that the resurrection at exactly sundown at the intersection of Saturday and Sunday could be the third day, but on the road to Emmaus the disciples talked about the crucifixion and said that “it is the third day since all this took place.” If he was crucified on Wednesday, there is no way that nearly evening on Sunday is still the third day.

Attempts to make it simply a matter of an error in the Gregorian calendar understate the issues with said calendar - it’s so messed up that we can’t even agree on a year, let alone a day. The “three days and three nights” as an idiom is the best explanation.

I also assumed you knew the weekly Sabbath was Saturday (and I read right past the Noah/Jonah thing - it's amazing how common that slip is.)

I have studied your point, and it is verily arguable.

And I know you meant Johah.
