And several women were there who look'd on at a distance, and had followed Jesus from Galilee, to assist him with their service. among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children. In the evening a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself was Jesus's disciple, read more.
went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus; which Pilate ordered to be delivered to him. Joseph then having taken the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in a monument which he had lately caused to be hewn out in the rock: and having rolled a large stone to the door of the sepulchre, he went away. in the mean time Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary were sitting over against the sepulchre.

The sabbath being over, and the first day of the week beginning to dawn, Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, came to see the sepulchre. now there had been a great earthquake; for an angel of the lord descending from heaven, was come, and had rolled away the stone from the door, and was sitting upon it. his aspect was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow. read more.
for fear of whom the keepers shook, and were almost struck dead. but the angel spoke to the woman, and said, don't be frighted, I know you are seeking Jesus, who was crucified. he is not here: he is risen according to his word: come, see the place where the Lord was laid. then go immediately to tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and that, he goes before you into Galilee, there shall ye see it is him; 'tis I that say it. And they instantly left the sepulchre, with fear and joy, and ran to carry his disciples this good news.

it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and others with them, who gave the apostles this relation:

but Mary stood at the entrance of the cave weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down to look into the sepulchre, and saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, the one at the head, the other at the feet. and they said to her, woman, why do you weep? "because, said she, they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him." read more.
having thus said, she turned about, and saw Jesus standing, but knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, woman, why do you weep? who do you look for? she supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, sir, if it be you that have convey'd him away; tell me where you have laid him, and I will take care to have him remov'd. Jesus said to her, Mary! she bowing her self, cry'd rabboni! that is to say, master! Jesus said to her, touch me not: for I am not yet ascended to my father: but go to my brethren, and say to them, "I ascend unto my father and your father, even my God and your God." so Mary Magdalene went and told the disciples, that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.


In the evening a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself was Jesus's disciple, went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus; which Pilate ordered to be delivered to him. Joseph then having taken the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, read more.
and laid it in a monument which he had lately caused to be hewn out in the rock: and having rolled a large stone to the door of the sepulchre, he went away. in the mean time Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary were sitting over against the sepulchre. Now the next day after the preparation of the sabbath, the chief priests and Pharisees went together to Pilate, saying, sir, we remember that this impostor, when he was alive, said, "after three days I will rise again." pray therefore order a guard to be posted at the sepulchre till the third day, for fear his disciples should come and steal him away, and then tell the people, "he is risen from the dead:" for this last imposture would be of worse consequence than the first. to whom Pilate replied, you have a guard, go then, and make it as secure as you can. accordingly they went, and having clapt a seal upon the stone, they posted a guard to secure the sepulchre.

Now, as soon as the evening was come; because it was then the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, one Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable senator, who was himself in expectation of the kingdom of God, ventur'd to come and wait upon Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Pilate surpriz'd that he should be dead so soon, sent for the Centurion, and ask'd him, if he had been dead any time. read more.
and being satisfied of it, he granted the body to Joseph; who taking down the body, wrapped it in a fine linnen cloth, which he had bought, and laid it in a sepulchre, which was hewn out of a rock, and roll'd a stone for a door to the sepulchre: and Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, took notice where he was laid.

There was likewise present a counsellor, named Joseph, a man of probity and justice, one who had never abetted the contrivances and proceedings of the Jews. he was of Arimathea, a city of Judea, and one of those, who were in expectation of the Messiah's reign. this very man went to Pilate, and begg'd the body of Jesus. read more.
and he took it down, and wrapp'd it in linnen, and laid it in a sepulchre, hewn out of a rock, wherein nobody had ever yet been deposited. now that day was the preparation, and the sabbath then drew on. the women therefore, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee, followed Joseph, to the sepulchre, to see how the body was disposed of. then they went home, and provided spices and perfumes: after which they rested the sabbath-day, as the law appointed.

Now for fear the bodies should remain upon the cross on the sabbath-day, for it was then the eve of the pascal-sabbath, a day of high solemnity, the Jews desired Pilate that their legs might be broke, and that they might be taken away. accordingly the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him. then they came to Jesus, and finding that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. read more.
but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately blood and water issued out. he that relates this, was an eye-witness of it, and his relation is true: and he is so assured, what he says is true, that you may rely upon it. for these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, "a bone of him shall not be broken." and again the scripture saith elsewhere, "they shall look on him whom they pierced." after this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but for fear of the Jews a conceal'd one, pray'd Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave: so he went and took the body of Jesus. Nicodemus, who formerly went to Jesus by night, came likewise and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. they took therefore the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, according to the manner of burial among the Jews. now near the place where he was crucified, there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, in which no body had ever yet been laid. as this sepulchre was nigh at hand, they laid Jesus therein, because the time of the preparation of the Jews was expiring.


And several women were there who look'd on at a distance, and had followed Jesus from Galilee, to assist him with their service. among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.

and several women, who had been delivered from evil spirits and cured of their diseases: particularly Mary Magdalene, who had been dispossess'd of seven demons: Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's high-steward: Susanna, and several others, who assisted him with their fortunes.

but Mary stood at the entrance of the cave weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down to look into the sepulchre, and saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, the one at the head, the other at the feet. and they said to her, woman, why do you weep? "because, said she, they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him." read more.
having thus said, she turned about, and saw Jesus standing, but knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, woman, why do you weep? who do you look for? she supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, sir, if it be you that have convey'd him away; tell me where you have laid him, and I will take care to have him remov'd.

Jesus said to her, touch me not: for I am not yet ascended to my father: but go to my brethren, and say to them, "I ascend unto my father and your father, even my God and your God." so Mary Magdalene went and told the disciples, that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.

who was followed by a great crowd of people, and several women, who beat their breasts and lamented him.

in the mean time Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary were sitting over against the sepulchre.

The sabbath being over, and the first day of the week beginning to dawn, Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, came to see the sepulchre. now there had been a great earthquake; for an angel of the lord descending from heaven, was come, and had rolled away the stone from the door, and was sitting upon it. his aspect was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow. read more.

And they instantly left the sepulchre, with fear and joy, and ran to carry his disciples this good news. as they were making the way to his disciples, Jesus himself met them, and said, I salute you. and they came, and embraced his feet, and worshipped him.

the women therefore, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee, followed Joseph, to the sepulchre, to see how the body was disposed of. then they went home, and provided spices and perfumes: after which they rested the sabbath-day, as the law appointed.

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they went to the sepulchre with the spices they had provided, accompanied by several others. and having found that the stone had been remov'd from the sepulchre, they entred in, but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. read more.
whilst they were in great perplexity about it, all of a sudden, two men appear'd before them in robes of light. upon which they were frightned, and bowed themselves to the very ground: but the men said to them, why do you look among the dead for one that is alive? he is not here, but is risen: remember what he told you, when he was yet in Galilee, that the son of man must be deliver'd into the hands of sinful men; be crucified; and the third day rise again. then they remembred his words; and upon their return from the sepulchre, they related the whole matter to the eleven, and all the other disciples. it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and others with them, who gave the apostles this relation:

The first day of the week early in morning Mary Magdalene, when it was yet dusky, came to the sepulchre, and found the stone was taken away from the sepulchre. upon this she went in great haste to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, they have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.



in the mean time Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary were sitting over against the sepulchre.


and Mary the mother of Joses, took notice where he was laid.
