'Preparation' in the Bible

So Jesus said, “Let her alone, so that she may keep [the rest of] it for the day of My burial.

Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover [week], and it was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Look, your King!”

Since it was the day of Preparation [for the Sabbath], in order to prevent the bodies from hanging on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high holy day) the Jews asked Pilate to have their legs broken [to hasten death] and the bodies taken away.

Therefore, because of the Jewish day of Preparation, and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
