One of the most humiliating questions that I've ever been asked as a
Christian is: How do you get three days and three nights from Friday
afternoon to Sunday morning?
With a little semantic trickery it's possible to produce three days, but no
amount of trickery will produce three nights.
Somebody once suggested that maybe the hours of darkness on the cross
were one of the nights. But that won't work because Christ lived through
those hours. He predicted he'd be dead.
†. Matt 12:40 . . Just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly
of the sea monster, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights
in the heart of the earth.

You get it by believing the scriptures. Partial days are considered full days by Jews. Thus Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
