And that day was the saboth even, And the saboth drew on.
¶ The next day that followeth good friday, the high priests and pharises got themselves to Pilate,
¶ And now when night was come (because it was the even that goeth before the saboth)
And took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid it in an hewn tomb, wherein was never man before laid.
(It was the saboth even which falleth in the ester feast, and about the sixth hour) And he said unto the jewes: Behold your king.
¶ The jewes then because it was the saboth even that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the saboth day (For that saboth day was an high day) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken down.
There laid they Iesus because of the jewes' saboth even, for the sepulchre was nye at hand.
