Yea...so it looks like Phil took a bit here and a bit there from these posts at the link below, and wove them together for his post here... But, as I said above...the idea of a Wednesday crucifixion has a big problem.

The BIG problem: The Scriptures show, that...
1: Jesus was raised on the 3rd day...three days after He was crucified.
2: When Jesus appeared to the two Disciples on the road to Emmaus late on Sunday afternoon, it was the 3rd day since He was crucified.
3: Sunday was the 3rd day from the crucifixion.
4: If the crucifixion were on Wednesday afternoon, then Sunday afternoon would have been the 4th day not the 3rd day since it took place.
5: Jesus said He would be in the heart of the Earth for 3 days and 3 nights, and would raise from the among dead on the 3rd day.
6: If Jesus was dead for 3 days and 3 nights, and rose from the among dead on the 3rd day...and the crucifixion was on a Wednesday, then His rising from the among dead would have been on Saturday sometime before sundown.
7: Jesus rose early on the 1st day of the week (Sunday), not late on the 7th day of the week (Saturday).
If you can fix this big problem...then I'll consider a Wednesday crucifixion...otherwise it won't work. Thursday afternoon could work though, as far as I can tell...if it were not on a Friday afternoon that is, which has always been what has been taught from the earliest times, by all the early Church teachers.
Even the Didascalia there says that the crucifixion took place on Friday afternoon...where it says that there was a long trial period before the crucifixion, not just one night, but a few nights in length...then came the crucifixion on Friday.
