It was Preparation Day( that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached,

It was the day before the Sabbath. That day was called Preparation Day. As evening approached,

And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

This all happened on Friday, the day of preparation, the day before the Sabbath. As evening approached,

When it was already evening, because it was the day of preparation( that is, the day before the Sabbath),

When evening had already come, since it was the preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

When it was already evening, because it was preparation day( that is, the day before the Sabbath),

And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

After this, Joseph of Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus( but secretly, because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he went and took the body away.Nicodemus, the man who had previously come to Jesus at night, accompanied Joseph, carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about seventy- five pounds.Then they took Jesus’ body and wrapped it, with the aromatic spices, in strips of linen cloth according to Jewish burial customs.Now at the place where Jesus was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden was a new tomb where no one had yet been buried.And so, because it was the Jewish day of preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus’ body there.

Now there was a man named Joseph who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man.( He had not consented to their plan and action.) He was from the Judean town of Arimathea, and was looking forward to the kingdom of God.He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed it in a tomb cut out of the rock, where no one had yet been buried.It was the day of preparation and the Sabbath was beginning.The women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it.Then they returned and prepared aromatic spices and perfumes. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

Now when it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus.He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered that it be given to him.Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut in the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance of the tomb and went away.( Now Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there, opposite the tomb.)The next day( which is after the day of preparation) the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled before Pilate

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.
