39 One of the criminals who were hanged there hurled insults at
him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!" 40 But the
other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, since you are under the
same sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we are
receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing
wrong." 42 Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your
kingdom." 43 And Jesus said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will
be with me in Paradise."
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over
the whole land until the ninth hour, 45 for the sun was darkened; and the
curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46 And Jesus, crying out with a
loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." And having
said this, he breathed his last. 47 Now when the centurion saw what had
happened, he praised God, and said, "Certainly this was a righteous
man!" 48 When all the multitudes who had gathered to witness this sight
saw what had taken place, they beat their breasts, and returned home. 49
But all his acquaintances, and the women who had followed him from
Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
50 Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the
Council, a good and righteous man, 51 who had not consented to their
decision and deed. He came from of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, and he
was waiting for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went to Pilate and
asked for the body of Jesus. 53 Then he took it down and wrapped it in
linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no
one had ever yet been laid. 54 It was the Preparation Day, and the
Sabbath was about to begin. 55 The women who had come with him from
Galilee followed and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid. 56 Then
they returned and prepared spices and perfumes.

And on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb,
bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone
rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the
body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold,
two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were terrified
and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you
seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen! Remember
how he told you while he was still in Galilee, 7 'The Son of Man must be
delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third
day rise again.'" 8 And they remembered his words. 9 Then they returned
from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10
It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other
women with them, who told this to the apostles. 11 But their words
