Jesus crucified and resurrected ?

[Boaz]

Matthew 12:40
King James Version (KJV)
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.

There seems to be a disagreement among Christians as to the day and time that Jesus was cucified and resurrected .
Therefore I wish that this thread can help clarify what day of the week that Jesus was risen .

Jesus’ resurrection is one of the greatest proofs that Jesus is exactly who He said He was – the Son of God and the only One through whom eternal life is offered. Therefore it is important that we know what day He was resurrected so as to worship God in Spirit and in truth.

1 Corinthians 15:4
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Therefore I will like to know what are your thoughts as to exactly what day was Jesus crucified and resurrected ?

Thanks

The problem here is that we as Christians (Christ-ones) need to remember that Jesus was talking in the Jewish context. (I have to remind myself constantly when studying).
In the Passover week, special "Sabbaths" were in place!
"Sabbaths" in this context are special Ceremonial days.
The weekly Sabbath as we all know is our Saturday.
The special Passover Sabbath is called "Shabbat HaGadol", and is on our Wednesday (Jewish Nisan14). On this day the Passover lamb is inspected, cooked and eaten to commemorate the Jewish release from Egypt. (Our Lord's Body was removed from the cross, and buried that day).
The ceremonies' of "Shabbat HaGadol" are on the Thursday, Nisan15, and the weekly Sabbath is Saturday.
Our Lord rose to life on the Jewish Sabbath, fulfilling His prediction re Jonah's "big fish".
Thus; our Lord became the Passover Lamb for the release of Jews, and later Gentiles, from their/Adam's sin; and to the eventual defeat of Satan!
