How do we know Jesus died on Wednesday?

According to Scripture, Jesus stated He would be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights (Matthew 12:40). A Friday death does not satisfy this timeline, as it would only allow for two days and two nights. The calculations based on biblical time (from evening to evening) align with a Wednesday crucifixion, allowing for the fulfillment of all prophecies concerning the Passover lamb and Jesus' resurrection on the first day of the week (Matthew 28:1). This meticulous attention to detail underscores the divine orchestration of events leading to Jesus' sacrifice for humanity.
