'Preparation' in the Bible

But Martha was distracted with much preparation, so she approached [and] said, "Lord, is it not a concern to you that my sister has left me alone to make preparations? Then tell her that she should help me!"

And that servant who has been told his Master's will and yet made no preparation and did not obey His will, will receive many lashes.

And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
