When is the day Lord Jesus died on the cross?

The belief of the Catholic Church that Jesus Christ died on Friday is unbiblical? why? because it is clear that Jesus himself said that:

Matthew 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

So Jesus Christ's body should be at the tomb within 3 days.

If Jesus died on Friday, he should be resurrected on Monday.

n the Bible, We must remember that Lord Jesus Christ resurrected before the sun rises on Sunday.

John 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. 

John 20:2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

So Jesus Christ resurrected before Saturday evening in Gregorian measure of time. How could I say that?

First, the Jews want to bury the Lord's body before sunset which is the start of a new day in the Jewish measurement of time.

John 19:31The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

So the first whole day should Jesus' body should remain in the tomb is on Thursday in the Gregorian measure of time and then Saturday is the third day should Jesus Christ's body remain in the tomb.

Meaning Lord Jesus died on 3:00 in the afternoon and buried in the afternoon before the sunsets on the day of Wednesday so Jesus' prophecy according in Matthew 12:40 that his body should remain the tomb for 3 days is accurately fulfilled here. (Pls. look below how it happened)

Wednesday daytime - not counted

Wednesday night time - 1st night

Thursday day time - 1st day

Thursday night time - 2nd night

Friday day time - 2nd day

Friday night time - 3rd night

Saturday day time - 3rd day.

If some will say that Lord Jesus died on Thursday, well let's count if it will be accurately correct according in Matthew 12:40:

Thursday day time - not counted

Thursday night time - 1st night

Friday day time -  1st day

Friday night time - 2nd night

Saturday day time - 2nd day

Saturday night time - 3rd night.

See, it is inaccurate. there is less one day in the counting and clearly, Jesus stayed in the tomb for 2 day times only and not 3 days according to Matthew 12:40

If some will say that Lord Jesus died on Friday, well let's count if it will be accurately correct according in Matthew 12:40:

We must now answer the Catholic Church's false teaching that the reason why it is Friday was the day our Lord Jesus died it is because after that day is the Sabbath being mentioned in this verse:

John 19:31The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

We must remember that Jesus died on 3:00 PM in the Gregorian measure of time and 6:00 PM is the start of the new day in the Jewish measure of time.

This is where the Unholy Roman Catholic Church got its conclusion that the Sabbath mentioned in John 19:31 is Saturday so Jesus Christ died on Friday. This is wrong! That Sabbath was high o great. this is not ordinary Sabbath.

In the Bible, There are many Sabbaths where Jewish people should not do work on that day. so almost all people are wrong that they believe that the only Sabbath in the Bible is the weekly Saturday Sabbath.

Ezekiel 20:20 And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God.

So the question is if the Sabbath in John 19:31 is not the ordinary Sabbath for short the weekly Sabbath of Saturday. WHAT IS THAT SABBATH THAT WAS HIGH?

We must remember that Lord Jesus was crucified on Passover.

John 18:39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

So what is the Sabbath that was high or great in John 19:31 after the Passover which it always happen on the 14th day of the 1st Jewish month of Nisan (Leviticus 23:5)?

Leviticus 23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.

Leviticus 23:7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

So that Sabbath that was high or great mentioned in John 19:31  is the 1st day of the 7 days where Jews should eat unleavened bread. that great Sabbath always happen on the 15th month of the 1st Jewish month of Nisan.
