46 And Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into Your hands I entrust My spirit. " [e] Saying this, He breathed His last.
47 When the centurion saw what happened, he began to glorify God, saying, "This man really was righteous!"
48 All the crowds that had gathered for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, went home, striking their chests.[f]
49 But all who knew Him, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

The Burial of Jesus

51 who had not agreed with their plan and action. He was from Arimathea, a Judean town, and was looking forward to the kingdom of God.
52 He approached Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.
53 Taking it down, he wrapped it in fine linen and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever been placed.[g]
54 It was preparation day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.[h]
