Here are a couple of passages that point to a Wednesday crucifixion.
Quote:
Matt. 12:40 (kjv)
40For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Quote:
Matt. 27:46 (KJV)
46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

The 9th hr is 3PM, if it were on friday Christ would only be in the grave for one night and one day. Because Christ was rissen before daybreak on the first day. John 20:1, Mark 16:1-8
Quote:
John 19:14 and John 19:31 (KJV)
14And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! .................................
31The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

The Sabbath Day mentioned was the passover, a high sabbath day, not the seventh day sabbath.
