What you are not understanding, is that Wednesday evening at 6 pm is the start of Thursday. Jesus was crucified on Wednesday, He died at 3pm Wednesday. 3 hours later at 6 PM, Thursday started, this Thursday was a High Sabbath.
The first day of the week, started Saturday evening at 6 PM. Jesus Rose from the Grave sometime between 6 PM and Midnight, which is the first day of the week.
Please look at the following pictures to see what i am saying above.
If he was placed in the Grave just before sun down that doesn't fit the account.
Wed. night 1 night.
Thursday 2 nights
Friday 3 nights.
We know He was already risen before Mary got the grave on Sat. Night just after sundown "While it was yet dark. Sunday begins at sundown on Sat. Night. He was already gone on all accounts.
3 days Thur. Fri. Sat. 3 nights Wed, Thur. Fri. 2 Sabbaths Thursday (First Day of unleavened bread) Saturday, (Weekly Sabbath.
Shamah has a very good study on this, I'm sure he would give it to anyone who asks.

DD,
If He was placed in the grave just before 6 PM on Wednesday, which I believe, wouldn't He have risen just before 6PM on the 3rd day? Any longer and it would be 4 days, YES?
In all accounts when Mary went to the grave after Sabbath, sundown Saturday night, The Stone was rolled away and He was already gone.
Why do you say He waited until after the 3rd day, after 6 PM?

So you are saying that the Lord Jesus rose on Saturday during the day.
That is NOT what the bible says.
Matthew 28:1-7
That is NOT what the bible says.
Matthew 28:1-7
1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
[SUP]4 [/SUP]And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
The keepers were there on Saturday. The earthquake and the angel of the Lord didn't show up until the end of the Sabbath. As it began to dawn. That is sunday.
That's why Christians celebrate Resurrection Day on Sunday. Because that's the day the Lord Rose.
Now, do legalists and judaizers have an agenda to try and show that the Lord Jesus Christ rose on the saturday sabbath instead of sunday?
I would certainly think so.

Your picture is wrong because it does not follow the Biblical day but the roman day.. The Biblical day starts at sunset.. Not at sunrise.. Jesus was not put into the tomb near midnight.. He was put in to the tomb just before sunset wednesday. At sunset the high sabbath called the first day of unleavened bread started.. Jesus had to be put into the earth before this day started..
