Luke 23:44–56

⁴⁴And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land till the ninth hour, ⁴⁵and the sun was darkened, and the vail of the sanctuary was rent in the midst, ⁴⁶and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, ‘Father, to Thy hands I commit my spirit;’ and these things having said, he breathed forth the spirit. ⁴⁷And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, ‘Really this man was righteous;’ ⁴⁸and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back; ⁴⁹and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things.

⁵⁰And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man good and righteous, ⁵¹—he was not consenting to their counsel and deed—from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the reign of God, ⁵²he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus, ⁵³and having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn out, where no one was yet laid. ⁵⁴And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching, ⁵⁵and the women also who have come with him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was placed, ⁵⁶and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.
