Greetings! >I could be wrong but I believe the phrasing is that the resurrection was on >the "third" day. This is somewhat different than saying "three" days after >burial. In short, Jesus was quickly buried before sunset on Friday (First >Day), all of Saturday in the tomb (Second Day), and rose from the dead at >dawn on Sunday (Third Day). I have seen a number of medieval works give the same explanation. Also, the fact that Romans counted days inclusively (in other words, if something happened "in three days" they would have counted the day it happened as day one) would have factored in.
