Jesus’ Burial Now when evening had already come, since it was the day of preparation(that is, the day before the Sabbath),

Then, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies should not stay on the crosses on the Sabbath(for that Sabbath was an especially important one), the Jewish leaders asked Pilate to have the victims’ legs broken and the bodies taken down.
