The following explanation may account for the 3 days and 3 nights. The counting began when God turned day into night and stopped the sun from shinning. Luke 23:44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, for the sun stopped shinning. So the counting goes: Friday Saturday Sunday night-day night-day night-day According to our way of starting a day with morning, God added a night to Friday, so Friday has night-day-night, Saturday has day-night, and Sunday has day. A previous article showing that 40 hours elapsed from Christ's death to resurrection is very enlightening and makes a lot of sense to me. floyd!dyl
