Was Jesus crucified on "Good Friday?"

[Praxeas]

• Jesus died and was taken down from the cross on the "preparation day" (Greek, paraskeue) - Mark 15:42; Luke 23:54; John 19:31. This day could refer to the day before a Sabbath or the day before a holiday.
• However, this particular preparation day is specifically said to be "the day before the Sabbath" – Mark 15:42.
• Occasionally, the Sabbath would not fall on the last day of the week (Saturday).
• However, this particular Sabbath immediately preceded the first day of the week (Sunday) - Matt. 28:1. Therefore it must have been a Saturday and the preparation day must have been Friday.
• Although a new day for us officially begins at midnight, the Jews began a new day at sunset.
• Therefore, after the sun set on Saturday, Sunday began.
• Jesus rose sometime before sunrise on Sunday morning - Matt. 28:1; Luke 24:1.
• Jesus said elsewhere that he would rise "on the third day" - Matt. 16:21; 17:23; 20:19; Luke 9:22; 18:33; 24:7; 24:46. Sunday was the third day.
• Finally, Jesus is specifically said to have risen "on the first day of the week" (Sunday, emphasis added) - Mark 16:9. (Although the longer ending of Mark is textually suspect, even most scholars who do not consider it canonical do see it as an accurate account of history).
• Jesus was in the tomb for parts of three days according to Jewish reckoning – the end of Friday, all day Saturday and part of Sunday.
