NETBible

It was the day of preparation¹ and the Sabbath was beginning.²

NET Notes

¹sn The day of preparation was the day before the Sabbath when everything had to be prepared for it, as no work could be done on the Sabbath.

²tn Normally, “dawning,” but as the Jewish Sabbath begins at 6 p.m., “beginning” is more appropriate.
