How many days did Jesus lay dead in the tomb?

Jesus was crucified on the Friday and buried before sunset as the Sabbath, in Jewish Law, begins at sunset on the Friday, until sunset on the Saturday. He was in the tomb on the Saturday, but we are told that early on the Sunday morning (before it got light) the women who attended the tomb found it empty. By modern day reckoning, Jesus was in the tomb just two nights and one day, and even then only part of the second night. In actual hours he was in the tomb around 36 hours. However, the Jewish custom in those days was of reckoning even part of a day as a day. Therefore, Friday was the first day, Saturday was the second and Sunday (even only the first few hours) was regarded as the third day. hence Jesus' claim that 'on the Third Day I shall rise again', or 'I will destroy this Temple and in three days rebuild it'.

Was Jesus buried on Thursday night to be able to spend three days and nights in the grave as he stated in Matt 12 chapter verse forty?

Some have indeed suggested this, but it actually involves a misunderstading of Jewish inclusive reckoning. A part of a day (or night) was considered as effectively a whole and counted and so Jesus did not need to spend 72 hours (according to our reckoning)in the tomb to meet the requirement of three days and three nights.
