Mat 27:62-66. The sepulchre guarded.
Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation - that is, after six o’clock of our Saturday evening. The crucifixion took place on the Friday and all was not over till shortly before sunset, when the Jewish sabbath commenced; and “that sabbath day was an high day” (Joh 19:31), being the first day of the feast of unleavened bread. That day being over at six on Saturday evening, they hastened to take their measures.
