* No such thing as a "High Sabbath". The Sabbath is *only* the Sabbath, which is always Friday sundown to Saturday sundown.
* The Messiah wasn't in the tomb for 3 days.
* Note that "after three days" only appears in Mark, and once in Matt. on the lips of the Pharisees. In Mark, it is always included when being handed over to the chief priests and the scribes is mentioned also (subtle clue).
* All eyewitnesses (yes, even John) state that the Messiah was crucified on παρασκευη, which is Greek for Friday. Even modern Greek today uses παρασκευη for Friday.

Finally: theological agenda really shouldn't be brought up in a discussion on how to translate a text. It will lead to eisegesis, rather than exegesis.
John 19:14 = preparation of passover.

the day Jesus died was Abib 14th, and it was preparation of passover. (Wednesday).

In the middle of 7 = 4 = Wednesday.
