4 [23:44]And it was now about the sixth hour [noon]; and there was a darkness over all the land till the ninth hour [3 P.M.]. [23:45]And the sun was obscured; and the vail in the midst of the temple was rent in two. [23:46]And Jesus crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit; and having said this, he expired. [23:47]And the centurion seeing what was done, glorified God, saying, Truly this was a righteous man. [23:48]And all the multitudes who had come together to this spectacle, beholding what was done, returned beating their breasts. [23:49]And all his friends stood at a distance, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, seeing these things. 5 [23:50]And behold, a man by the name of Joseph, a counsellor, a good and righteous man, [23:51]this man had not consented to their design and doing, [he was] from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, and he expected the kingdom of God. [23:52]This man coming to Pilate asked for the body of Jesus; [23:53]and taking it down, he wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb cut out of a rock, in which no man had yet been laid. [23:54]And the day was the preparation; the sabbath was dawning. CHAPTER XXXII. CHRIST AFTER HIS RESURRECTION. 1 [23:55]AND women following him who had come up with him from Galilee saw the tomb, and how his body was laid. [23:56]And they returned and prepared spices and ointments, and rested on the sabbath, according to the commandment. 2 [24:1]And on the first day of the week, early in the morning, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. [24:2]And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb; [24:3]and entering, found not the body. [24:4] And while they were in doubt about this, behold, two men stood by them in shining clothing. [24:5]And [the women] being afraid, and bowing their faces to the earth, they said to them, Why do you seek the living with the dead? [24:6] He is not here, but is raised. Remember how he told you while he was yet in Galilee, [24:7]saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of wicked men to be crucified, and on the third day rise again. [24:8]And they remembered his words; [24:9]and returning from the tomb related all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. [24:10]And they were the Magdalene Mary, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the others with them, who told these things to the apostles. [24:11]And their words appeared to them like idle talk; and they believed them not.
