John, Chapter 19, verses 31, 42

³¹ Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (^ofor that Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
...

⁴² Therefore because of the Jewish day of preparation, since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
