Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
All Commentaries on Matthew 27:62 Go To Matthew 27
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
The next day, which followed that of the parasceve, or preparation, (that is, on the great sabbath-day) the chief priests came to Pilate, to beg him to set a guard at the monument. (Witham)
The day of the preparation. The eve of the sabbath; so called, because on that day they prepared all things necessary; not being allowed so much as to dress their meat on the sabbath-day. (Challoner)
