>> Jesus was buried before sundown on Thursday...that’s the Jewish Thursday day. <<
That’s the picking point... He was buried on a Friday.
First, the word “Friday” is not in the text.
Second, without allegory, how do you account 3 days and three nights int he earth.
Jesus used Jonah as a letteral example and ocmparison to say that he would literally be the same duration in the earth.
BTW, did not have time last night to dif further into the subject at home. Will try again tonight.
