MARK 15:42 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,”
It was preparation day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached — the preparation day is Friday, the day before the Sabbath. The evening approaching is the beginning of the Sabbath (sunset Friday), which will prevent burial after dark. The urgency of the burial is created by the approaching Sabbath — if Jesus is not buried before sunset, the burial must wait until Sunday.
