Footnote

b The day after Passover, Nisan 15, was the first day of the Festival of Unfermented Cakes and was always a sabbath. In the year 33, Nisan 15 was also the beginning of the weekly Sabbath (Saturday). Because both Sabbaths were on the same day in that year, that day was called “a great” Sabbath.​—Read John 19:31, 42.
