Two other places in Scripture THREE DAYS and THREE NIGHTS are specially mentioned that appear to be 24 hour periods:

Esther 4:16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
1 Samuel 30:12 And they gave him (an Egyptian) a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.

Consider: Jesus crucified Wednesday and placed into the tomb before 6 PM.
Thursday, 6 pm – 6 am = 1 night & day. Friday, 6 pm – 6 am = 1 night & day (2nd N & D). Saturday, 6 pm – 6 am = 1 night & day (3rd N & D). He arose BEFORE 6 am, Sunday.

Eight days later, with Thomas present, the Lord appeared again John 20:26
and Thomas believed John 20:27-29
John 21 Records another appearance of the risen Lord conversing and eating with his disciples
Twice, John writes “And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His Disciples” John 20:26 and John 21:25 “And there are also many other things which Jesus did,”

Acts 1:2-3 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
Later Jesus met the eleven at an appointed mountain and gave them their instructions. Matthew 28:16-20,
Mark 16:19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
Acts 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
The Apostle Paul wrote 1 Corinthians 15:5-6 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
To summarize:
⇒ Not recognized until he revealed himself
⇒ Had a physical, flesh and bone, body
⇒ Had the wounds he received on the cross
⇒ Ate with them
⇒ Passed thru walls
⇒ Preformed many signs
⇒ Had access to heaven
⇒ Seen of over 500 people
⇒ Ascended to heaven in a physical body
The above answers the question Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
And he answered them with “THOU FOOL!” And goes on to describe the process and new body.
What will we be able to do when we are raised from the dead and given new bodies? It would appear, the same things Lord Jesus did in his resurrected body. After all, there is an eternity prepared for all believers.

40 days after the resurrection! What do we know about the 40 days after the resurrection? What did the Lord Jesus do for those 40 days?
Acts 1:3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
