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.

First century Jews would have reconciled days and nights as they still do to this very day. A first century Jew began his day at sunset and ended his day at sunset. This has not changed, as evidenced b the fact the the Sabbath begins at Friday evening sundown, to this very day.

Yes, I am applying a hermeneutic approach by using an inductive method. This is a pr oven and appropriate method of study and examining what is being presented. This is not error and my observations have been within the context of the verses presented and the Jewish reckoning of days and nights that is still used to this very day and differs form our Gregorian reckoning, where days and nights are divided by Midnight on our clocks.

Kindly demonstrate exactly how three days and three nights can be gotten out of a pre-sunset Friday burial to a pre-sunrise Sunday resurrection.

Having re-read Luke 24 I find nothing contrary to my inductions. Even Luke says that when the women arrived a tthe tomb, early in the morning, He was laredy risen. So, please present the specific verses that substantiate your Friday crucifixion and specifically how it justifies the 3days/3nights. Jesus was quite specific in His prophecy, it would be expected that a Jew would understand and be able to see the specificity of fulfillment.

You have not made a clear case outside of general commentary and I am merely seeking for you present a more detailed explanation. because as it stands, you comment of what a first century Hebrew would know is not convincing ans is rather spurious.
