UTN 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”
