No, it states that the 3 days and 3 nights refers to the time He was 'in the heart of the earth' ie. Hades (Acts 2v27)
Actually that passage doesn't say Jesus was in Hades three days and three nights, you are assuming that is what Jesus meant by "in the heart of the earth," but to do so you have to ignore what Jesus explicitly told his disciples and what they understood the 3 days and nights to include, and clearly it was not limited to just the period of time Jesus lay dead in the tomb. In every instance where he taught his disciples it included his rejection by the Jewish elders and his suffering, and from the testimony of Cleopas, that is the way the disciples understood it.
Acts 2:27, which simply states that during his death Jesus' soul was in Hades, does not include any reference to how long Jesus lay dead. From the testimony of all 4 Gospels, he died late Friday afternoon as the Sabbath approached and rose from the dead very early Sunday morning. Again, the Scripture does not support 3 days and 3 nights dead in the tomb.
Also do bear in mind that the 15th Nisan started at 6pm on Thursday, 6th April 30 AD, not 18 hours earlier.
If you look at the chronology again, you will see that I agree with you that Nisan 15 began at sunset Thursday, but my sources put the date as April 4.
If you (or anybody else) have not already done so, go and find the calendars for the years around the Lord's Crucifixion and see what works as regards the Scriptures (Jewish feasts etc) and then post your findings in this thread, I will read it with great interest...
