023:044 It was now about noon, and a darkness came over the whole
country till three o'clock in the afternoon.
023:045 The sun was darkened, and the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn
down the middle,
023:046 and Jesus cried out in a loud voice, and said, "Father, to Thy hands I entrust my spirit." And after uttering these words He yielded up His spirit.
023:047 The Captain, seeing what had happened, gave glory to God, saying, "Beyond question this man was innocent."
023:048 And all the crowds that had come together to this sight,
after seeing all that had occurred, returned to the city
beating their breasts.
023:049 But all His acquaintances, and the women who had been His
followers after leaving Galilee, continued standing at a distance
and looking on.
023:050 There was a member of the Council of the name of Joseph, a kind-hearted and upright man,
023:051 who came from the Jewish town of Arimathaea and was awaiting the coming of the Kingdom of God. He had not concurred in the design or action of the Council,
023:052 and now he went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
023:053 Then, taking it down, he wrapped it in a linen sheet and laid it in a tomb in the rock, where no one else had yet been put.
