Luke 23:39-56 ▼

39 And one of the euill doers, which were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou be that Christ, saue thy selfe and vs.

40 But the other answered, and rebuked him, saying, Fearest thou not God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

41 We are in deede righteously here: for we receiue things worthy of that we haue done: but this man hath done nothing amisse.

42 And he sayd vnto Iesus, Lorde, remember me, when thou commest into thy kingdome.

43 Then Iesus said vnto him, Verely I say vnto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.

44 And it was about the sixt houre: and there was a darkenes ouer all the land, vntill the ninth houre.

45 And the Sunne was darkened, and the vaile of the Temple rent through the middes.

46 And Iesus cryed with a loude voyce, and sayd, Father, into thine hands I commend my spirit; when hee thus had sayd, hee gaue vp the ghost.

47 Nowe when the Centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Of a suretie this man was iust.

48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things, which were done, smote their brestes, and returned.

49 And all his acquaintance stood a farre off, and the women that followed him from Galile, beholding these things.

50 And beholde, there was a man named Ioseph, which was a counseller, a good man and a iust.

51 Hee did not consent to the counsell and deede of them, which was of Arimathea, a citie of the Iewes: who also himselfe waited for the kingdome of God.

52 He went vnto Pilate, and asked the body of Iesus,

53 And tooke it downe, & wrapped it in a linnen cloth, and laide it in a tombe hewen out of a rocke, wherein was neuer man yet laide.

54 And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drewe on.

55 And the women also that followed after, which came with him from Galile, behelde the sepulchre, and how his body was layd.

56 And they returned and prepared odours, and ointments, and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandement.
