The Jewish day started at sundown on the previous day, so the original ‘Good Friday’ started at 6 pm on the Thursday. Here are some scriptures regarding what happened that night:

Friday is when Jesus was mocked, flogged, and nailed to a cross. The final ordeal stated at 9 am and lasted until 3 pm when He gave up His spirit. Here are some scriptures covering this fateful period.
Friday
Matthew 26:57 – 27:66

Saturday
On Saturday Jesus’ body lay in the tomb, but in the spiritual realm He was conducting Satan’s court-martial and expelling him from heaven.
On Sunday, just before dawn, the Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead, left His burial wrapping behind, and walked out into the garden. Here are the scriptures that give this account:
Sunday
Matthew 28:2-20
Mark 16:1-20
Luke 24:1-53
John 20:1 – 21:24
