Hell is living outside of God's Word. So when Jesus on the night of the LAST SUPPER on the evening of Wednesday would have been Thursday the 1st night when Jesus was betrayed into the hands of the tormentors by Judas the false one who sides with corrupted government to betray and hand over the true body of Christ.
He was now in hell in the hands of the ungodly. He was passed around being being mocked, spat on being prepared and tenderized by beatings having his HOLY GARMENT removed as God made him to be sin for us and taking our punishment.
All day Thursday was Day 1,after sundown would have been the dawn of a new day of the week being the 2nd night beginning Friday , then Friday day would be Day 2 and the day of preparation according to the Jews reheasal of the Passover Lamb, where they would bind the lamb to be ready to be prepared for EATING and there is not to be any left in the morning. Jesus was cruxified on Friday day and also taken down and put in the tomb before the evening which began the Sabbath. Friday evening would have been Saturday the 3rd Night and Saturday the 3RD Day, the Sabbath is when Jesus arose.
Mary came at sundown after the Sabbath ended which was dawning the first DAY OF THE WEEK, not day as in daylight for their days end at sundown.
Jesus had risen on the Sabbath just after midnight which was 6 hrs after he was placed in the tomb on FRIDAY DAY, just before the Sabbath eve began.
Mary came immediately after the sabbath had ended meaning just before sundown and found that the tomb had aleady been opened and found Jesus had already risen. She came and told the disciples, and that same evening being now the dawn of the 1ST Day of the Week
Jesus came and stood in the MIDST of the disciples who would MEET just after the sabbath was over UNTIL MIDNIGHT to feed upon the Word together away from the Synagogs where the JEWS wanted to harm them, yet they still sacrificed their selves by going into the Synagogs on the Sabbath to try and bring some of the Jews to Christ.
On our Gentile calender, the day does not end until MIDNIGHT, so they were still really keeping the Lord's Day on the 7th day, where as the church has misunderstood this to mean Sunday morning that we meet.
John 20:16-19
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
KJV
Jesus is the Tree of Life who stands in the MIDST of HIS GARDEN!

Hell is typically translated from hades in the N.T. and sheol in the O.T. It is a pit or a grave. It has nothing to do with infernal regions. From Bullingers...

35. "SHEOL".
HEBREW, SHEOL.
The first occurrence of this word is in Gen_37:35, where it is rendered "grave". It occurs sixty-five times in the Hebrew of the Old Testament; and only by studying each passage by itself can the student hope to gather the Biblical usage of the word.

As meaning "THE grave," it is to be distinguished from keber , A grave , or, burying-place (from kabar , to bury, first occurrence Gen_23:4) : and bor , a pit , generally hewn in the rock, hence used of a cistern (Gen_37:20) or a dungeon, &c., when dry. (See note on the word "well" in Gen_21:19.)

131. THE SYNONYMOUS WORDS
FOR
"HELL", ETC.
"Hell" is the English rendering of two different Greek words in the N.T. The English word is from the Anglo-Saxon hel , Genitive case helle = a hidden place, from the Anglo-Saxon helan = to hide. It is in the N.T. used as the translation of two Greek words :--
I. Gehenna . Gr. geenna . This is the transliteration of the Heb. Gai' Hinnom , i.e. the Valley of Hinnom or "the Valley" of [the sons of] Hinnom, where were the fires through which children were passed in the worship of Moloch.
In the O.T. Tophet was the Heb. word used, because it was a place in this valley.
In our Lord's day the idolatry had ceased, but the fires were still continually burning there for the destruction of the refuse of Jerusalem. Hence, geenna was used for the fires of destruction associated with the judgment of God. Sometimes, " geenna of fire". See 2Ki_23:10. Isa_30:33. Jer_7:31; Jer_7:32; Jer_19:11-14.
Geenna occurs 12 times, and is always rendered "hell", viz. Mat_5:22; Mat_5:29; Mat_5:30; Mat_10:28; Mat_18:9; Mat_23:15; Mat_23:33. Mar_9:45; Mar_9:47. Luk_12:5. Jam_3:6.
II. Hades . Gr. hades , from a (privative) and idein , to see (Ap. 133. I. i); used by the Greeks for the unseen world. The meaning which the Greeks put upon it does not concern us; nor have we anything to do with the imaginations of the heathen, or the traditions of Jews or Romanists, or the teachings of demons or evil spirits, or of any who still cling to them. The Holy Spirit has used it as one of the "words pertaining to the earth", and in so doing has "purified" it, "as silver tried in a furnace" (see notes on Psa_12:6). From this we learn that His own words "are pure", but words belonging to this earth have to be "purified".
The Old Testament is the fountain head of the Hebrew language. It has no literature behind it. But the case is entirely different with the Greek language. The Hebrew Sheol is a word Divine in its origin and usage. The Greek Hades is human in its origin and comes down to us laden with centuries of development, in which it has acquired new senses, meanings, and usages.
Seeing that the Holy Spirit has used it in Act_2:27; Act_2:31 as His own equivalent of Sheol in Psa_16:10, He has settled, once for all, the sense in which we are to understand it. The meaning He has given to Sheol in Psa_16:10 is the one meaning we are to give it wherever it occurs in the N.T., whether we transliterate it or translate it. We have no liberty to do otherwise, and must discard everything outside the Word of God.
The word occurs eleven times (Mat_11:23; Mat_16:18. Luk_10:15; Luk_16:23. Act_2:27; Act_2:31. 1Co_15:55. Rev_1:18; Rev_6:8; Rev_20:13; Rev_20:14); and is rendered "hell" in every passage except one, where it is rendered "grave" (1Co_15:55, marg. "hell"). In the R.V. the word is always transliterated "Hades", except in 1Co_15:55 (where "death" is substituted because of the reading, in all the texts, of thanate for hade ), and in the American R.V. also.
As Hades is the Divine Scriptural equivalent of Sheol , further light may be gained from Ap. 35, and a reference to the 65 passages there given. It may be well to note that while "Hades" is rendered "hell" in the N.T. (except once, where the rendering "the grave" could not be avoided), Sheol , its Hebrew equivalent, occurs 65 times, and is rendered "the grave" 31 times (or 54%); "hell" 31 times (4 times with margin "the grave", reducing it to 41.5%); and "pit" only 3 times (or 4.5 %).
"The grave", therefore, is obviously the best rendering, meaning the state of death (Germ. sterbend , for w 6a2 hich we have no English equivalent); not the act of dying, as an examination of all the occurrences of both words will show.
1. The rendering "pit" so evidently means "the grave" that it may at once be substituted for it (Num_16:30; Num_16:33. Job_17:16).
2. The rendering "the grave" (not "a grave", which is Hebrew keber or bor ) exactly expresses the meaning of both Sheol and Hades . For, as to direction , it is always down: as to place , it is in the earth: as to relation , it is always in contrast with the state of the living (Deu_32:22-25 and 1Sa_2:6-8); as to association, it is connected with mourning (Gen_37:34; Gen_37:35), sorrow (Gen_42:38. 2Sa_22:6. Psa_18:5; Psa_116:3), fright and terror (Num_16:27; Num_16:34) mourning (Isa_38:3; Isa_38:10; Isa_38:17; Isa_38:18), silence (Psa_6:5; Psa_31:17. Ecc_9:10), no knowledge (Ecc_9:5; Ecc_9:6; Ecc_9:10), punishment (Num_16:29; Num_16:34. 1Ki_2:6; 1Ki_2:9. Job_24:19. Psa_9:17 (R.V. = re -turned), corruption (Psa_16:10. Act_2:27; Act_2:31); as to duration resurrection is the only exit from it (Psa_16:11. Act_2:27; Act_2:31; Act_13:33-37. 1Co_15:55. Rev_1:18; Rev_20:5; Rev_20:13; Rev_20:14).
III. Tartaroo (occurs only in 2Pe_2:4) = to thrust down to Tartarus, Tartarus being a Greek word, not used elsewhere, or at all in the Sept. Homer describes it as subterranean (cp. Deu_32:22, which may refer to this). The Homeric Tartarus is the prison of the Titans, or giants (cp. Heb. Rephaim , Ap. 25), who rebelled against Zeus .
Act 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ,
that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
Word for hell here is hades, means the grave. He was not left in the grave long enough for His flesh to rot (see corruption).
