just before evening falls his body is hastily wrapped and laid in a borrowed tomb because the sabbath is approaching and there isn't time to prepare the body for burial (it must wait until Sunday).
Those that had been present at the crucifixion would have witness a unique scene (a quick death, prayers for those who watched and waited, darkness at noon, an earthquake, the temple curtain totorn in two).
Grieving his death, shameful for running away, feeling defeat (not victory) - the messiah was to be crowned victorious not crowned with thorns and executed.
As Saturday approaches, all is quiet, all seems lost...
