Jesus was in (Sheol) the common grave of all mankind, That is to say he was dead and conscious of nothing at all. Ecc 9v5

Sheol is a Hebrew word, the equivalent the Greek word Hades.
However some translations use the words 'Hell' and 'pit' which can be a little confusing.

This is not to be confused with the word Gehenna which means a death from which no resurrection is possible. Not to be confused as Dante's inferno as taught by false religious teachers usually mis-translated as hell-fire.

When Jesus promised the evil doer next to him th he would be with him in Paradise he did not mean that is was to be on the same 24 hour day or that the thief would get a heavenly resurrection since he had NOT served God or done anything to merit it. He was referring to the general resurrection of the human race which has not yet begun.

I hope this answers your question, but if not I will be happy to hear constructive polite comments.

Kind regards

In Acts 2, Peter speaks of the resurrection and quotes Psalm 16:10: “You will not leave my soul in hell.” This would indicate that Jesus spent time “in hell.” However, the Hebrew word used in the psalm is accurately translated “the grave,” and Jesus was clearly in the grave.
