[b]Yeshuas Resurrection Day
Very early on the first-of-the-sabbath (the first day of the
week), they came to the tomb . . . He is not here . . . He is
going ahead of you to Galilee Mark 16:2, 6-7.
Now after He had risen, early on the first-of-the-week . . .
Mark 16:9. This verse is sometimes translated to sound like He had
risen early on the first-of-the-week: such interpretation cannot be
backed by the Greek text.
But on the first-of-the-sabbath (the first day of the week), at
early dawn, they came to the tomb . . . Two angels said, Why do
you seek the living among the dead? He is not here . . . Luke
24:1, 5-6.
Now on the first-of-the-sabbath (the first day of the week), Mary
of Magdala came early to the tomb while it was still dark (before
the twelfth hour of the night). She said, They have taken away my
Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him John
20:1,13.
Yeshua was buried at the end of a Preparation Day of the Passover
(Wednesday afternoon), just before the High Sabbath. He was raised
after three days and three nights, at the end of the weekly
Sabbath.
Now it was the Day of Preparation for the Passover . . . There
they crucified Him. Because it was the Day of Preparation, so
that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for
that Sabbath was a High Day) . . . John 19:14, 18, 21
Yeshua said, No sign will be given to (this evil generation), but
the sign of the Prophet Jonah: for as Jonah was three days and
three nights in the belly of the fish, so will the Son of Man be
three days and three nights in the heart of the earth Matthew
12:39-40.
Yeshua used a complaint about healing on the Sabbath to prophesy of
His own Sabbath resurrection, saying: What man among you who has a
sheep, if it falls into a pit, will he not raise it out on the
Sabbath? Matthew 12:11. God was among them, and His Lamb was in
a pit for three days, and He raised it out on the Sabbath.
The Hebrew term deficient day may be applied to violating a
Sabbath prohibition as breaking the whole Sabbath; it cannot be
applied to Friday night to Sunday morning as three days and
three nights. There was no such way of counting, and it would have
made Yeshuas only sign a farce.

Just another point of view on this,
There was another calulation on this that I heard of, which is
that
Jesus was crucified on a Thursday, High Sabbath on Friday, Sabbath
on Saturday, and rose again on Sunday Morning (the day after the
Sabbath).
Thus account for the 3 days/3nights in Matthew 12:39-40
(3days:Thursday, Friday,Saturday, 3nights:Thursday night, Friday
night, Saturday night), and also account for Luke24:1-6 (but for
John 20, its says she rose up early while its still dark, could
also be just before dawn)
my question on the Wednesday is that, if the High Sabbath is on a
thursday, then there will be a gap of Friday (which is not a
Sabbath) where the disciples/Mary of Magdala could have went to the
tomb to claim/see the body (the fact that went before dawn shows
that they went as soon as its legal to do so), and none of them
did.
