SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:62
Y el siguiente día, que es el segundo día de la preparacin, se juntaron los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los fariseos a Pilato,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:62
Verse 62. The next day] This was the seventh, or Saturday, and might be what we should term the evening of the sixth, or Friday, because the Jews always ended their day when the sun set, and then began the next. That followed the day of the preparation] That is, of the Sabbath. The victuals, &c., which were to be used on the Sabbath by the Jews, were always prepared the preceding evening before the sun set. It is of this preparation that the evangelist speaks here; and it is the same which is mentioned by Mark, Mark xv. 42; by Luke, Luke xxiii. 54; and by John, John xix. 31. But there was another preparation which happened in the same day: viz. The preparation of the passover; this began about twelve o'clock, and continued till four, the time in which they ate the paschal lamb. See John xix. 14.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 62. Now the next day that followed the day of preparation , etc.] Which was the sabbath day; for the day of preparation was the day before the sabbath, ( Mark 15:42), in which they prepared every thing necessary for the sabbath, and therefore was so called: and as this introduces the account of the chief priests and Pharisees, making application to Pilate, to secure the sepulchre; and which by his leave they did, by sealing the stone, and setting a guard about the sepulchre; it shows what consciences these men had, who accused the disciples of Christ of a violation of the sabbath, for plucking a few ears of corn on that day; and sought to kill Jesus, because he healed a man on it, and bid him take up his bed and walk; and yet they themselves could leave their devotions, and first meet together and agree upon an address to Pilate, and then go in a body to his palace; and having obtained their request, march to Josephs garden, and make the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch, which were servile works, and, according to their laws and traditions, not to be done on the sabbath day; and yet they scrupled them not, notwithstanding their characters and profession, which follow: the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate ; these were the inveterate and implacable enemies of Christ; they took counsel how to put him to death; they employed Judas to betray him, and sent a band of soldiers with him to take him; they suborned false witnesses against him; they moved the people to prefer Barabbas to him; they got him condemned to death, and followed him to the cross, where they mocked him; and still, like the troubled sea, they were restless and uneasy; for though he was dead, they feared his resurrection; and though they could not prevent the thing, they consult to hinder the credit of it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 62-66 - On the Jewish sabbath, the chief priests and Pharisees, when the should have been at their devotions, were dealing with Pilate abou securing the sepulchre. This was permitted that there might be certai proof of our Lord's resurrection. Pilate told them that they migh secure the sepulchre as carefully as they could. They sealed the stone and set a guard, and were satisfied that all needful care was taken But to guard the sepulchre against the poor weak disciples was folly because needless; while to think to guard it against the power of God was folly, because fruitless, and to no purpose; yet they thought the dealt wisely. But the Lord took the wise in their own craftiness. Thu shall all the rage and the plans of Christ's enemies be made to promot his glory __________________________________________________________________
