| Mk 15:42 | When it was already evening, since it was the day of preparation, the day before the sabbath, ... |
| Lk 23:54 | It was the day of preparation, and the sabbath was about to begin. |
| Jn 19:31 | Now since it was preparation day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one, the Jews asked Pilate that their legs be broken and they be taken down. |
