Now when the centurion and those that were with him, guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was God’s Son.
55
And many women were there beholding afar off, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him;
56
among whom was Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joses and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57
When the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also had been a disciple of Jesus;
58
he went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
59
And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth
60
and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre and departed.
61
And there was Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
62
Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the princes of the priests and the Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
63
saying, Lord, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
64
Command therefore that the sepulchre be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night and steal him away and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead; so the last error shall be worse than the first.
