40 But the other one responding, rebuked him saying, Do you not fear God, because you are in the same condemnation?

41 and we indeed justly; for we are receiving the deservings of the things we did: but this one has done nothing amiss.

50 And behold, there was a man by name Joseph, being a councilor, a good and righteous man,

52 He having come to Pilate, begged the body of Jesus.

53 And having taken it down, he wrapped it in linen, and placed it in a hewn sepulcher, where no one ever was laid.

54 And it was Preparation day, and the Sabbath was drawing nigh.

55 And the women, who had come along with him out of Galilee, having followed down, saw the sepulcher, and where His body was placed.

56 And having returned, they prepared aromatics and myrrh: and they kept the Sabbath according to the commandment.
