Luke 23:52-56 ▼

52 this man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

53 And [after receiving permission] he took it down and wrapped it in a linen [burial] cloth and laid Him in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had yet been laid.

54 It was the day of preparation [for the Sabbath], and the Sabbath was dawning.

55 Now the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed [closely], and saw the tomb and how His body was laid.

56 Then they went back and prepared spices and ointments and sweet-smelling herbs. And on the Sabbath they rested in accordance with the commandment [forbidding work].
