I reread the four Gospel accounts, and the only thing for sure is that the women came to the tomb on Sunday morning and Jesus had already risen. From these account the resurrection could have been before Sunday.

Shlama Akhi Otto,
The scriptures say the women came to the tomb on Khad b'Shabba, which is the name of a day of the week that corresponds to the English "Sunday."
I'm really not going to venture down the path of the lack of specificity on the exact time between the time He arose and when they came to the tomb. At that point we are just guessing. What we know for sure is that He was arisen on Sunday.
We do not know for a fact that He was arisen on the previous Saturday....or on Friday for that matter.
But we know for a fact that on Sunday, He was arisen.
