Luke 23:54

54 It was the day of preparation, ^{▼▼sn The day of preparation was the day before the Sabbath when everything had to be prepared for it, as no work could be done on the Sabbath.} and the Sabbath was beginning. ^{▼▼tn Normally, “dawning,” but as the Jewish Sabbath begins at 6 p.m., “beginning” is more appropriate.}
