Luke 23:44-56 ▼

44 And it was about the sixth hour, and darkness was upon all the earth till the ninth hour.

45 And the sun was darkened, and the covering of the temple was split in the middle.

46 And Jesus having cried with a great voice, said, Father, into thy hands will I commit my spirit: and having said these, he expired.

47 And the centurion having seen that having been done, honoured God, saying, Surely this man was just.

48 And all the crowds having been to this viewing, seeing the things done, striking their breasts, returned.

49 And all his acquaintance stood afar off, and the women having followed him together from Galilee, seeing these.

50 And, behold, a man Joseph by name, being a counsellor; good and just:

51 (The same was not set together in the counsel and deed of them;) from Arimathea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

52 The same having come to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus.

53 And having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and put it in a tomb cut in stone, where none was ever laid.

54 And the day was the preparation, and the sabbath shone forth.

55 And the women having followed, which had come to him out of Galilee, saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.

56 And having returned, they prepared spices and perfumed oils; and truly the sabbath were they at rest according to the command.
