Luke 23:45-55

45 because the sun was obscured; and ¹the veil of the temple was torn in two.

46 And Jesus, ²crying out with a loud voice, said, "Father, ³INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT." Having said this, He breathed His last.

47 ⁴Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began ⁵praising God, saying, "Certainly this man was innocent."

48 And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, when they observed what had happened, began to return, ⁶beating their breasts.

49 ⁷And all His acquaintances and ⁸the women who accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, seeing these things.

Jesus Is Buried

50 ⁹And a man named Joseph, who was a ¹⁰member 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 ¹¹waiting 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 ¹²the preparation day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.

55 Now ¹³the women who had come with Him out of Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how His body was laid.
