On the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where do you want us to make the preparations for you to eat the Passover?”
When evening had come, and since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover; and it was about noon. He said to the Jews, “Here is your King!”
Since it was the day of Preparation, the Jews did not want the bodies left on the cross during the sabbath, especially because that sabbath was a day of great solemnity. So they asked Pilate to have the legs of the crucified men broken and the bodies removed.
And so, because it was the Jewish day of Preparation, and the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
