OK, now I see. I have no evidence at this time it was common.

No problem. Someone else visiting this topic may know of examples.

Point #5 in post #131 should be changed to read: To account for the discrepancy, there may be some of the above who say that the Messiah was using common figure of speech/colloquial language of the time, i.e., that it is was common to forecast or say that a day or a night would be involved with an event when no part of the day or no part of the night could occur.

Maybe someone new visiting this topic who believes the Messiah died on the 6th day of the week and who thinks He was using common figure of speech/colloquial language in Matthew 12:40 might know of examples to support the idea of commonality.

Eloi,
re: "SUNDAY was the day of the resurrection, and it was the third day after Jesus' death."

What was the first day after the Messiah's death?

re: "That means he died on Friday."

How do you account for the lack of a 3rd night?

Saying "after" maybe was a mistake. I'm relying on Lucas's story, and the wording on it is "this makes the third day since these things occurred" ... it does not use the word "after". That makes the first day the same day when Jesus died. That is what the expression "the third day" means in a lot of passages. If we say today "the third day" we don't mean after 72 hours, but inside the 24 hours of the third day. The third day after now if after tomorrow, not matter at what time.

Eloi,
re: "The third day after now if [is] after tomorrow..."

If "now" is Friday, what would the first day after now be?

Look up Matthew 28:1 in the greek. Greek says Sabbaths not Sabbath as the KJ and others do. That explains it all.
