If Jesus had been crucified on a Friday there would not be three nights before Sunday morning. And if Jesus had been crucified on a Wednesday, Wednesday evening until Thursday evening would have been a day of rest (first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread), but Friday morning would be clear (not a day of rest). If they had waited until Sunday morning to work with a dead body (instead of Friday morning), the body (or so they thought) would have been dead 3½ days. Besides that a Wednesday crucifixion would have Jesus in the sepulchre more than 3 days and 3 nights, it would make no sense for the women to wait 3½ days to work with a deceased body instead of waiting 1 day to work on the body while it is fresh.
Luke 24:1–2 (KJV) says, “1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.”

So there were two days of rest back-to-back: the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the 7th day Sabbath.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Jesus would be 3 full 24-hour days in the earth. The definition that Jesus used was ’12 hours in a day,’ and he said he would rise ‘sometime on the third day.’ The gospels indicate that he rose on the morning of the third day, around the time of daybreak, so he was in the earth less than 3 24-hour days (it was closer to 60 hours according to the definition that Jesus used and what’s worded in Mark 16:9 and the verses above this paragraph).
