| 51 And behold, the vail of the temple
was rent in twain from the top to
the bottom: and the earth did quake,
and the rocks rent; | 38 And the vail of the temple was
rent in twain, from the top to the bottom. |
| 52 And the graves were opened,
and many bodies of the saints which
slept, arose, | |
| 53 And came out of the graves
after his resurrection, and went into
the holy city, and appeared unto
many. | |
| 54 Now, when the centurion, and
they that were with him, watching
Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those
things that were done, they feared
greatly, saying, Truly this was the
Son of God. | 39 And when the centurion which
stood over against him, saw that he so
cried out, and gave up the ghost, he
said, Truly this man was the Son of God. |
| 55 And many women were there
(beholding afar off)[302] which followed
Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto
him: | 40 There were also women looking
on afar off, among whom was Mary
Magdalene, and Mary the Mother of
James the less, and of Joses, and
Salome; |
| 56 Among which was Mary Magdalene,
and Mary the mother of James
and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's
children. | 41 Who also, when he was in Galilee,
followed him, and ministered unto
him; and many other women which
came up with him unto Jerusalem. |

| 45 And the vail of the temple
was rent in the midst. | |
| 47 Now, when the centurion saw
what was done, he glorified God,
saying, Certainly this was a righteous
man. | |
| 48 And all the people that came
together to that sight, beholding the
things which were done, smote their
breasts and returned. | |
| 49 And all his acquaintance, and
the women that followed him from
Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these
things. | |

| 57 When the even was come, there
came a rich man of Arimathea, named
Joseph, who also himself was Jesus'
disciple: | 42 And now, when the even was
come, (because it was the preparation,
that is, the day before the sabbath,) |
| 58 He went to Pilate, and begged
the body[303] of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded
the body to be delivered. | 43 Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable
counsellor, which also waited
for the kingdom of God, came, and
went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved
the body of Jesus. |
| 44 And Pilate marvelled if he were
already dead: and calling unto him
the centurion, he asked him whether
he had been any while dead. |
| 45 And when he knew it of the
centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. |
| 59 And when Joseph had taken the
body, he wrapped it in a clean linen
cloth, | 46 And he bought fine linen, and
took him down, and wrapped him in
the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre
which was hewn out of a rock, and
rolled a stone unto the door of the
sepulchre. |
| 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. | 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary
the mother of Joses beheld where he
was laid. |
| Luke. | John. |
| CH. XXIII. 50-56. | CH. XIX. 31-42. |
| 31 The Jews therefore, because it
was the preparation, that the bodies
should not remain upon the cross on
the sabbath-day, (for that sabbath-day
was an high day) besought Pilate that
their legs might be broken, and that
they might be taken away. |
| 32 Then came the soldiers, and
brake the legs of the first, and of the
other which was crucified with him. |
| 33 But when they came to Jesus,
and saw that he was dead already,
they brake not his legs: |
| 34 But one of the soldiers with a
spear pierced his side, and forthwith
came thereout blood and water. |
| 35 And he that saw it, bare record,
and his record is true: and he knoweth
that he saith true, that ye might
believe. |
| 36 For these things were done, that
the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone
of him shall not be broken.[304] |
| 37 And again another scripture
saith, They shall look on him whom
they pierced.[305] |
| 50 And behold, there was a man
named Joseph, a counsellor: and he
was a good man, and a just: | 38 And after this Joseph of Arimathea
(being a disciple of Jesus, but
secretly for fear of the Jews) besought
Pilate that he might take away the
body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him
leave. He came therefore and took
the body of Jesus. |
| 51 (The same had not consented
to the counsel and deed of them:)
he was of Arimathea, a city of the
Jews; who also himself waited for
the kingdom of God. | |
| 52 This man went unto Pilate, and
begged the body of Jesus. | 39 And there came also Nicodemus
(which at the first came to Jesus by
night) and brought a mixture of myrrh
and aloes, about an hundred pounds weight. |
| 53 And he took it down, and
wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a
sepulchre that was hewn in stone,
wherein never man before was laid. | 40 Then took they the body of
Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes
with the spices, as the manner of the
Jews is to bury. |
| 41 Now in the place where he was
crucified, there was a garden; and in
the garden a new sepulchre, wherein
was never man yet laid. |
| 54 And that day was the preparation,
and the sabbath drew on.[306] | 42 There laid they Jesus therefore,
because of the Jews' preparation-day;
for the sepulchre was nigh at
hand. |
| 55 And the women also, which
came with him from Galilee, followed
after, and beheld the sepulchre, and
how his body was laid. | |
| 56 And they returned, and prepared
spices and ointments; and rested the
sabbath-day, according to the commandment. | |
| Matthew. | |
| CH. XXVII. 62-66. | |
| 62 Now, the next day that followed
the day of the preparation, the chief
priests and Pharisees came together
unto Pilate, | |
| 63 Saying, Sir, 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 sure 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. | |
| 65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have
a watch: go your way, make it as
sure as ye can. | |
| 66 So they went and made the
sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and
setting a watch.[307] | |
