Luke 23:44-56 ▼

44 And now it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour,

45 the sun having darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in the middle.

46 And having called out in a loud voice, Jesus said, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And having said this, He breathed His last.

47 And having seen that having taken place, the centurion was glorifying God, saying, “Certainly this man was righteous.”

48 And all the crowds having come together to this spectacle, having seen the things having taken place, were turning back, beating their breasts.

49 But all from those who knew Him, and the women, those having followed Him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

50 And behold, a man named Joseph, being also a Council member, a good and righteous man—

51 he was not having consented to their counsel and deed—from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God,

52 he, having gone to Pilate, asked for the body of Jesus.

53 And having taken it down, he wrapped it in a linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in a rock, in which no one yet was laid.

54 And it was the Day of Preparation, and Sabbath was beginning.

55 And the women who had come with Him out of Galilee, having followed, saw the tomb and how His body was laid.

56 And having returned, they prepared spices and anointing oils. And they rested indeed on the Sabbath according to the commandment.
