Doesn't the scriptures clearly state that buying and preparing spices mean that the messiah must have died on a Wednesday Pesach?

This hypothesis has the following problem:
Problem 1:
Luke 23:54 says:
It was the preparation dayI.e. preparation for the Sabbath, and the Sabbath was about to begin.
Mark 15:42 says:
42 When evening had already come, because it was the preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
Sabbath was on Saturday. The day before it should have been Friday.
Problem 2:
Luke 24:13 and 21 describes Vision on The Road to Emmaus
13 And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus ....
21 it is the third day since these things happened.
From the above verses we know that the disciples were going to Emmaus on the very day on which Jesus rose from the dead and on that day they say that 'today is the third day after Jesus was persecuted'. If Jesus died on Wednesday, how ever you count, you will not be able to make Sunday as the third day. Note that the disciples say that it is the third day not it was three days ago. They are saying that the Sunday was the third day after the death of Christ.
Then you might ask: what about the women and the spices?
This Wednesday theory is proposed very recently (compared to 2000 yrs of history) by few "scholars" who have no understanding of Jewish Calender system and want to reconcile the three days and three nights in the heart of the earth verse. (Matthew 12:40)
They assume the following unnecessarily:
- The women had to work one whole day to prepare spices
- The women could not have bought spices and prepared them on Friday evening. (We know from the scriptures that the women saw where Jesus was buried. But they could have went back and bought and prepared spices while Jesus body was prepared (with myrrh and aloes) and buried by Nicodemus and Joseph of arimathea)
By your own method testing scriptures with scriptures (even though I do not agree with this method) Luke 24:13-21 clearly proves that Jesus did not die on Wednesday.
