Detailed explanation-2: -JERUSALEM (AP) Jesus and his disciples shared the Last Supper three days, and not several hours, before the crucifixion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.

Detailed explanation-4: -The interval “three days and three nights in the heart of earth” therefore refers only to a discrete and unique period of time in which Jesus’s body was located in Jerusalem prior to his resurrection. That time was from Thursday evening to Sunday morning. It included burial in the tomb, but only for part of that time.

Detailed explanation-5: -Supper at Emmaus At first, Jesus appears to Cleopas and one other disciple, but “their eyes were holden” so that they could not recognize him. Later, “in the breaking of bread” (Luke 24:30), “their eyes were opened” and they recognized him (Luke 24:31).
