5 [19:31]Then the Jews, that the bodies might not continue on the cross on the sabbath, for it was the preparation, for that was a great sabbath, asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and they be taken down. [19:32]Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other crucified with him, [19:33]and coming to Jesus, when they saw him already dead, they broke not his legs; [19:34]but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water. [19:35]He who saw has testified, and his testimony is true, for he knows that he says what is true, that you also may believe. [19:36]For these things were done that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken; [19:37]and again another Scripture says, They shall look on him whom they have pierced. 6 [19:38]After these things Joseph from Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take down the body of Jesus; and Pilate permitted him. Then he came and took his body. [19:39]And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. [19:40]Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it with bandages, with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to prepare for burial. [19:41]And there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid. [19:42]In that therefore they laid Jesus, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near. CHAPTER XXII. CHRIST AFTER THE RESURRECTION. 1 [20:1]AND on the first day of the week, Mary the Magdalene came in the morning, while it was yet dark, to the tomb and saw the stone taken away from the tomb. [20:2]Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord from the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him. [20:3]Then went Peter and the other disciple, and came to the tomb. [20:4]And the two ran together; and the other disciple outran Peter and came first to the tomb, [20:5]and stooping down saw the bandages lying, but he went not in. [20:6]Then Simon Peter came following him, and went into the tomb, and beheld the bandages lying, [20:7]and the napkin which was on his head not lying with the bandages but folded up in a place by itself. [20:8]Then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and saw and believed; [20:9]for they did not yet know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. [20:10]Then the disciples went away by themselves.
