Matthew 12:40 Using Common Idiomatic Language?

Since it's been awhile, maybe someone new looking in may know of examples.

As it's the beginning of a new year perhaps someone new visiting this topic might know of examples.

candle2,
re: "Jesus was placed in the tomb just before the 'going down of the sun' on Wednesday."Off topic, but how do you reconcile that with Luke 24:21?

And remember, the someone new needs to be someone who thinks the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with the resurrection taking place on the 1st day of the week, and who thinks that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb and who tries to explain the lack of a 3rd night by saying that the Messiah was using common figure of speech/colloquial language.
