Description
Preparation Festival in the text
The day of Preparation, also known as Preparation Day, is mentioned in all four Gospels in connection with the day of Jesus's crucifixion. It was the day before the Sabbath (Mrk.15.42; Luke 23:54) and the day on which preparations were made for the Sabbath rest. In John's Gospel, the day of Preparation is also associated with the Passover, as it was the day before the Passover feast (Jhn.19.14, 31, 42). Jesus was crucified on the day of Preparation and hastily buried before the Sabbath began at sundown (Matthew 27:62; Luke 23:54; Jhn.19.42). The Gospel writers' mention of the day of Preparation helps to clarify the timeline of events surrounding Jesus's death and resurrection and underscores the urgency of His burial before the Sabbath.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
