Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Luke 23
⁴⁶ And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, "Father, ’into Your hands I commit My spirit.’ " Having said this, He breathed His last.
⁴⁷ So when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous Man!"
⁴⁸ And the whole crowd who came together to that sight, seeing what had been done, beat their breasts and returned.
⁴⁹ But all His acquaintances, and the women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
⁵⁰ Now behold, there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and just man.
⁵¹ He had not consented to their decision and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God.
⁵² This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
⁵³ Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before.
⁵⁴ That day was the Preparation, and the Sabbath drew near.
⁵⁵ And the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and they observed the tomb and how His body was laid.
⁵⁶ Then they returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.
