⁶² Now on the morrow, which is `the day' after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate,

⁴² And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

¹⁴ Now it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews, Behold, your King!

⁴² There then because of the Jews' Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus.

¹ Why do the nations rage, And the peoples meditate a vain thing?

² The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, `saying',

³ Let us break their bonds asunder, And cast away their cords from us.

⁴ He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh: The Lord will have them in derision.

⁵ Then will he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure:

⁶ Yet I have set my king Upon my holy hill of Zion.

¹⁷ Now on the first `day' of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee to eat the passover?

¹ Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

² and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor.

⁵⁴ And it was the day of the Preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

⁵⁵ And the women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid.

⁵⁶ And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. And on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

³¹ The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high `day'), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and `that' they might be taken away.

²⁷ for of a truth in this city against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together,

²⁸ to do whatsoever thy hand and thy council foreordained to come to pass.
