Luke 23:39-56 ▼

39 And one of the suspended malefactors kept reviling Him, saying, "Art not Thou the Christ? Save Thyself and us!"

40 But the other, answering and rebuking him, said, "Do you not fear God, seeing that you are in the same condemnation?

41 and we, indeed, righteously; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds: but This Man did nothing amiss."

42 And he said, "Jesus, remember me, when Thou comest in Thy Kingdom."

43 And He said to him, "Verily I say to you, "To-day you shall be with Me in Paradise."

44 And it was already about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour,

45 the sun's light failing. And the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

46 And, crying with a loud voice, Jesus said, "Father, into Thy hands I commit My spirit." And, having said this, He expired.

47 And the centurion, beholding what took place, glorified God, saying, "Truly This was a righteous Man!"

48 And all the multitudes, coming together to this sight, viewing the things that took place, were returning, smiting their breasts.

49 And all those acquainted with Him stood afar off, and the women who followed with Him from Galilee, seeing these things.

50 And, behold, a man, Joseph by name, who was a councillor, a good and righteous man

51 (the same had not consented to their plan and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was waiting for the Kingdom of God:

52 the same, going to Pilate, asked for the body of Jesus.

53 And, taking it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed Him in a tomb, hewn in a stone, where no one was yet laid.

54 And it was a day of Preparation, and a sabbath was approaching.

55 And the women who had accompanied Him out of Galilee, following after, beheld the tomb, and how His body was laid.

56 And, returning, they prepared spices and perfumes; and, on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
