“What do you mean by allegory?”

You cannot get teh specific three days and threes nights as prophsied by Jesus (Matt 12:39-40) with a Friday afternoon burial. Can’t happen. He rose before sunrise on Sunday.

Only if you apply a hermeneutical method that is very different from how they would have understood the phrase in the first century. This is quite apparent from the entire narrative, esp., as I have mentioned, from places like Luke 24.

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is "three days and three might" for a first century Hebrew.
