Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(42) The preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath.--The explanation, like that in Mark 7:2-3, is characteristic of St. Mark, as writing for Gentile readers. It fixes, with hardly the shadow of a doubt, the meaning of the word "preparation," as given in the Note on Matthew 27:62.
