This is why i Proposed the three day increment. I am not familiar with the ancient calenders. Whether it was a Friday to a Monday, or a Thursday to a Sunday. As long as it doesnt contradict Jonah's prophecy it should be accepted

As it is, Jesus was raised on the third day. This depends on whether one counts Friday (because he would have been buried before sunset) as a day. If one counts Friday, then we have Friday during day & night, Saturday for the same, and then Sunday, with Jesus being raised around dawn (the beginning of the day)
I just find it hard to believe that such a grievous error as you sre proposing would have occurred and then been maintained to the present day.
Overall, perhaps more important is
Luke 9:22, where Jesus predicts the he shall be raised on the third day, and then
Luke 24:7, where he repeats this after his Resurrection.
