Approximately one and a half days, from the Friday afternoon until the early hours of Sunday morning. In Jewish inclusive reckoning, this was three days.
In Jewish reckoning, even part of a day was regarded as a 'day'. Thus the remainder of the Friday of the crucifixion after Jesus' death was counted as the first day, the whole of Satuday was the second day, and the first few hours of the Sunday morning when the empty tomb was discovered and Jesus appeared to Mary and the others, the day of resurrection, was the third day. Hence the expressions used by Jesus - 'I will rise again in three days' and 'I will destroy the Temple, and in three daysrebuild it...' amongst many others foretelling his resurrection.
Bismillah (In the name of God)
Another Answer:
The Quran says in Surah Annisa 4:157
That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.";- But they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
The wonder of Jonah pbuh:
- When he was thrown overboard, was he alive or dead?
- When the fish ate him, was he (in the fish) during those 3 days and 3 nights alive or dead?
- When the fish spew him on the beach, was he alive or dead?
answer: It was a miracle, he should be dead, but he was alive in all the 3 cases.
But when we ask a Christian, was Jesus as alive or dead during those 3 days and 3 nights? The answer is then: Dead
The wonder of Jonah pbuh was, that he was eaten by a fish and survived, the wonder of Jesus pbuh was that he was buried in the earth and came back to live, . Jesus pbuh did not survive the grave, because he was already dead. So coming back to live is not the same as being all the time alive.
The third thing i want to discuss: How long did Jesus pbuh stayed in the state of "dead"?
Mark 15:34 and Mathew 27:46 say both that he pbuh died on: 9 o'clock in the evening on a Friday.
Mark 16:2 and Mathew 28:1 say both that He pbuhrised back to live before (the sun came up) Sunday-morning (after the sabbath).
So let's count :
Friday night , Saturday night = 2 nights
Saturday = 1 day.
1 day and 2 nights dead..... this is not the same as 3 days and 3 nights (even it we count it like the Jews).
The Jews counted the day from the arrising of the sun, and we see that Jesus pbuh was arrised before the sun came up, so we cannot count Sunday.
so, you answer yourselve where he was during those so called "3 days and 3 nights" and you decide yourselve wether he has fullfiled the wonder of Jonah pbuh
The event of Jesus rising from the grave three days after his crucifixion is known as the Resurrection. It is a significant event in Christianity, symbolizing victory over death and the promise of eternal life.
PLEASE IF YOU ARE TAKING AN EXAM IN THIS OR SOMETHING DO NOT WRIGHT THIS DOWN!Jesus said this on holy Thursday during the last supper, the day after on good Friday he died. Jesus resurrected on Easter Sunday three days later nad the curch and the faith in the disciples was rebuilt.By 'Temple' he meant 'Religion'. He was saying that it would take him 3 days to totally change Judaism. He did this during the Crucifixion and, three days later, the Resurrection. These are the key points of Christianity.
It is the same as the vertical post: together they are a sign of Jesus Christ, and represent not only His own death by crucifixion, His burial, and His resurrection 3 days later, but also the symbolic death, burial, and future resurrection to eternal life of all Christians.
The book of Matthew starts with the birth of Jesus which occurred around 4-5 BC and the last chapter finishes with Jesus' last words before being taken up in the air and returning to heaven. Jesus was 33 years old when He died on the cross and rose 3 days later. It was 40 days after His resurrection when He was taken up into heaven. Therefore the time period is approximately between 4BC to 33 AD.
The main points in the Easter story are the Last Supper, the betrayal and arrest of Jesus, his crucifixion, death, burial, and resurrection three days later. These events are central to the Christian belief in the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
