ISB ~ John 19 v14

day of Preparation:This chronological statement has been read in two different ways. Some, including the RSV, understand it to mean that Jesus was sentenced to die on “the eve” of the Jewish Passover, which would begin at sundown. Others note that the Greek term is one that normally means “Friday”, the day before the Jewish Sabbath (as in 19:31 and Mk 15:42). In this case, the point is that Jesus was condemned on the Friday that fell during Passover week.

the sixth hour:Noon.
