To: one Lord one faith one baptism
Lol, your question betrays an utter ignorance of how Jews counted days. They didn’t count hours, any part of a day counted as one day. So when Jesus was crucified on Friday afternoon, this was day one. Saturday was day two. And according to Luke 24, Sunday was the the third day, the day he rose from the dead.

HOw long exactly...how many hours...was Jonah in the fish? Ask any Jews that question. I'll wait.

To a Jew, a baby born one minute before sundown on Friday who died one minute after sundown on Saturday evening lived for 3 days and 3 nights. ( even though it was only alive 24 hours and two minutes )

Look up inclusive reckoning and stop reading the Scriptures thru the lens of 21st century western thinking.

Enough.

Long enough to 'get his mind right'.
