Luke 23:48-56

48 And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, when they observed what had happened, began to return, 1beating their breasts.
49 2And all His acquaintances and 3the women who accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, seeing these things.

Jesus Is Buried

50 4And a man named Joseph, who was a 5member of the Council, a good and righteous man
51 (he had not consented to their plan and action ), a man from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was 6waiting for the kingdom of God;
52 this man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 And he took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever lain.
54 It was 7the preparation day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.
55 Now 8the women who had come with Him out of Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how His body was laid.
56 Then they returned and 9prepared spices and perfumes. And 10 on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
