In the following verse

Matthew 27:62 Now the next day, that followed the day of
the preparation
, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto
Pilate

Why didn’t Matthew simply say “on the Sabbath”? Was there any special reason not to call Sabbath a Sabbath, but rather refer to it in such an obscured manner?
