Jesus Dies on the Cross

44And by this time it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour 45because* the light of the sun failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn apart down the middle. 46And Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit!”m And after he* said this, he expired.

47Now when* the centurion saw what had happened, he began to praise* God, saying, “Certainly this man was righteous!” 48And all the crowds that had come together for this spectacle, when they* saw the things that had happened, returned home* beating their* breasts. 49And all his acquaintances, and the women who had followed him from Galilee who saw these things, stood at a distance.

Jesus Is Buried

50And behold, a man namedn Joseph, who was a member of the council,o a goodp and righteous man 51(this man was not consenting to their plan and deed), from Arimathea, a Judean town,q who was looking forward to the kingdom of God. 52This man approached Pilate and* asked for the body of Jesus. 53And he took it* down and* wrapped it in a linen cloth and placed him in a tomb cut into the rock where no one had ever been placed. 54And it was the day of preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near. 55And the women who had been accompanying him from Galilee followed and* saw the tomb and how his body was placed. 56And they returned and* prepared fragrant spices and perfumes, and on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
