Jesus' Side Is Pierced

Since it was the day of Preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.

So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.”
