Luke 23:45-55

45 the sun did not shine. Also the parokhet in the Temple was split down the middle.
46 Crying out with a loud voice, Yeshua said, "Father! Into your hands I commit my spirit." With these words he gave up his spirit.
47 When the Roman officer saw what had happened, he began to praise God and said, "Surely this man was innocent!"
48 And when all the crowds that had gathered to watch the spectacle saw the things that had occurred, they returned home beating their breasts.
49 All his friends, including the women who had accompanied him from the Galil, had been standing at a distance; they saw it all.
50 There was a man named Yosef, a member of the Sanhedrin. He was a good man, a tzaddik;
51 and he had not been in agreement with either the Sanhedrin's motivation or their action. He came from the town of Ramatayim, a town of the Judeans; and he looked forward to the Kingdom of God.
52 This man approached Pilate and asked for Yeshua's body.
53 He took it down, wrapped it in a linen sheet, and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, that had never been used.
54 It was Preparation Day, and a Shabbat was about to begin.
55 The women who had come with Yeshua from the Galil followed; they saw the tomb and how his body was placed in it.
