Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?

Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

And that day was the Preparation, and the Sabbath drew near.

And they returned and prepared spices and ointments. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.

Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, Behold your King!

So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews' Preparation Day, for the tomb was nearby.

When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put Him to death.

And when they had bound Him, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

Why do the nations rage, and the peoples devise a vain thing?

Let us break and tear away their bonds, and cast away their cords from us.

Then He shall speak to them in His anger, and terrify them in His wrath.

For truly against Your holy Son Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together

to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done.
