Mar 15:42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
Mar 15:43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
Mar 15:44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
Mar 15:45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
Mar 15:46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
[5] Joseph of Arimathaea had time on that same day, after Jesus' death and after asking Pontius Pilate for the body of Jesus, and the inquisition made of Pilate to the guard, and taking Jesus down and way, to
then purchase afterward
[“And bought”] “fine linen” to wrap Jesus' body in [
Mark 15:46].
[6] Nicodemus had time on that same day to bring [“brought”] “a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound [weight]” [
John 19:39] along with Joseph of Arimathaea to then “wound it in linen clothes with the spices” and embalm the body of Jesus with [
Matthew 27:59;
Mark 15:46;
Luke 23:53;
John 19:40].
The "even" (in Mark 15:42) was when the sun is still in the sky and beginning to descend. The sun was not yet down, the final "evening". There was about 3 hours still of daylight. Enough for Joseph and Nicodemus to carry out their shopping and gathering what they already owned at their own homes (remember they were wealthy men of the Sanhedrin). It was a rush job, that's why the women had to wait until after sabbath to complete the job they had started:
Luk 23:54 And
that day was the preparation, and
the sabbath drew on.
Luk 23:55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
Luk 23:56 And
they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and
rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
"commandment" (Exodus 20:8-11), not "ordinance" (since the Commandment of God superceded the ordinance (festal) in importance).
Luk 24:1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre,
bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
Joh 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
Mar_15:43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
Joh 19:38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
Joh 19:39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
Joh 19:40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
The tomb was Joseph's new tomb, for himself. It was merely utilized as needful for Jesus being empty/vacant for occupancy.
Mat 27:59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
Mat 27:60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
So the tomb was already prepared, and most of the materials they already owned and had in stock, or were easily purchased the same day before sundown, while the sun was still descending in the sky, from circa 3pm (9th hour) to 6pm-ish (12th hour).
