It could have also been on Wednesday and still match scripture.
I cannot make 3 days and nights out of Friday afternoon to Sunday at daylight. I believe it was likely Wednesday.
It doesn't have to be Sunday daylight. The way days were counted then was a new day started at sundown. Jesus could have arisen any time after sundown Saturday and it would have been Sunday. That goes clear back to Gen 1 when the Bible says there was evening and there was morning the 1st, 2d, etc day. Evening came first because the new day started in the evening at sundown.
What throws everyone off is that there were 2 Sabbaths. John specifies that it was a special Sabbath or a High Day depending on the version. That was an extra Sabboth held on the lunar day of the celebration. The Passover Sabbath could have been any day of the week depending on the moon cycle that year. The crucifixion's date could be accurately calculated if we knew what year it happened.
