Luke 23:44–56

^44aAnd it was now about ^1bthe sixth hour, and darkness ²fell over the whole land until ³the ninth hour,

⁴⁵¹because the sun was obscured. And ^athe veil of the ²sanctuary was torn ³in two.

⁴⁶And Jesus, ^acrying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, ^binto Your hands I commit My spirit.” Having said this, He breathed His last.

^47aNow when the centurion saw what had happened, he began ^bpraising God, saying, “Certainly this man was righteous.”

⁴⁸And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, when they observed what had happened, were returning, ^1abeating their chests.

^49aAnd all His acquaintances and ^bthe women who accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, watching these things.

Jesus Is Buried

^50aAnd behold, a man named Joseph, who was a ^bCouncil member, a good and righteous man

⁵¹(he had not consented to their counsel and action), a man from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was ^awaiting for the kingdom of God;

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

⁵³And he took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever lain.

⁵⁴It was ^1aPreparation day, and the Sabbath was about to ²begin.

⁵⁵Now ^athe women, who had come with Him from Galilee, followed and beheld the tomb and how His body was laid.

⁵⁶Then after they returned, they ^aprepared spices and perfumes.

And ^bon the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
