Jesus did not die on Friday. He actually died on a Wednesday and rose on a Saturday. He spent Wednesday night, Thursday day, Thursday night, Friday day, Friday night, Saturday day in the grave just as he said he would do. "Just as Jonah spent 3 days and 3 nights in the belly of the fish, so the son of man will spend 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth." It is believed that Jesus rose from the dead at 6pm on Saturday so that the prophecy would be fulfilled.
Jonah 1:17 (KJV) Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Matthew 12:40 (KJV) For as Jonas was three days and three night's in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
