Did you see [my reply](https://forum.catholictalk.net/t/common-figure-of-speech-colloquial-language/2023/34) to your question about 3 days and 3 nights? I think it is what you are looking for. As far as the point of it, Jesus _is_ the temple that would be torn down and raised up in 3 days ([John 2:19](https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/2?19)), but the Jewish leaders did not understand what Jesus meant. They thought He was talking about the literal Jewish temple that had been under construction for forty-six years. Check out those links I sent you in regards to how the Jewish ear would have interpreted “three days and three nights,” as they did not mean 24-hour increments as some might interpret it in our current time. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.catholictalk.net/t/good-friday-question/2007)._
