From BibleWiki
42: και ηδη οψιας γενομενης επει ην παρασκευη ο εστιν προσαββατον
42: And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
42: And when evening was now come (because it was the Parasceve, that
is, the day before the sabbath),
The even. The time after three o'clock in the afternoon.
The preparation, etc. The following day was to be a day of peculiar solemnity, called the great day of the feast. More than ordinary preparation was, therefore, made for that sabbath on the day before. Hence the day was known as a day of preparation. This preparation consisted in food, etc., to be used on the sabbath.
