OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 19:42

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διὰ τὴν παρασκευὴν τῶν Ἰουδαίων

because_of the Preparation_‹day› ˱of˲_the Jews

According to Jewish law, no one could work after sundown on the day of preparation because sundown marked the beginning of the Sabbath and Passover. This meant that they had to bury Jesus’ body quickly. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “because the Passover and Sabbath were about to begin that evening”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ἐκεῖ & διὰ τὴν παρασκευὴν τῶν Ἰουδαίων, ὅτι ἐγγὺς ἦν τὸ μνημεῖον, ἔθηκαν τὸν Ἰησοῦν

there & because_of the Preparation_‹day› ˱of˲_the Jews because near was the tomb ˱they˲_laid ¬the Jesus

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these clauses. Alternate translation: “they laid Jesus there because of the day of preparation of the Jews and because the tomb was close by”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν παρασκευὴν τῶν Ἰουδαίων

the Preparation_‹day› ˱of˲_the Jews

See how you translated a similar phrase in 19:14.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

ἔθηκαν τὸν Ἰησοῦν

˱they˲_laid ¬the Jesus

John is referring to putting Jesus’ dead body in a tomb as laying him down. This is a polite way of referring to something unpleasant, and it accurately describes the Jewish burial practice of laying a dead body on a table inside the tomb. See how you translated a similar expression in 11:34. Alternate translation: “they entombed Jesus”
