We know that traditions are hard to break and this is probably one of the most difficult ones of them to transcend. We know some will have a problem accepting this, but that be entirely their choice. And no, the Bible does not explicitly state on which specific day of the week Jesus died, but there are some things that have been left for us to determine based on the scriptural evidence that is in the Bible.
We will be the first to say that you need to check out all of this information for yourself. Please, do not just take our word for it. Open up whichever Bible version that you have and look at it for yourself. You need to check to make sure that everything that has been discussed is factual and true. Just one little bit of false information can alter the truth and your knowledge. And while this chart, this model does appear to contain every piece of evidence that is mentioned in the scriptures, it does not mean that there could not have been a mistake made. Please, check out the information for yourself and determine for yourself whether it be factual or not. In the end, it is you who will have to determine if Good Friday is something that is based on scripture or not.

Addition Remarks After The Original Posting:
There was the claim that the chart would contradict Acts 10:40 and I Corinthians 15:4. This chart is fully supported by the words of our Lord Jesus spoken in Matthew and do not actually contradict either of the other two verses.
Interestingly, the chart does not contradict Matthew 12:40. The words recorded in Acts are those of Peter, who spoke of Jesus’ resurrection in a sermon to Cornelius, the Roman centurion, and his Gentile group. Then there is Paul’s message to those at Corinth about the resurrection of Chris, which was he spoke of according to the scriptures. But more interesting than any of this is that fact that we have accepted the words of Peter and Paul over the recorded spoken words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ himself, when he answered certain scribes and Pharisees, when they asked him for a sign. Go figure.
According to scripture, Jesus died somewhere between the sixth hour (noon) and the ninth hour (three o’clock). He was buried during the last three hours of the day, between the ninth hour (three o’clock) and the twelfth hour (six o’clock). Technically speaking, it is possible for Jesus to have spent three full days and three full nights in the grave and still rise before the end of the third day. Hypothetically speaking, since the exact time Jesus was buried is unknown, as long as Jesus was buried before the last second of the close of the twelfth hour, he could technically satisfy the criteria set forth in Matthew 12:40 and still be resurrected before the end of the third day. He could have exited the tomb any time after that.
We find it very intriguing that Good Friday death completely contradicts the words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and it is widely accepted without question. Let’s say, without question that people are willing to ask publicly.
