And he, having brought linen cloth, and having taken Him down, wrapped Him in the linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. And Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, beheld where He was laid.
And, taking it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed Him in a tomb, hewn in a stone, where no one was yet laid. And it was a day of Preparation, and a sabbath was approaching.

And, returning, they prepared spices and perfumes; and, on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
and laid it in his own new tomb, which he hewed out in the rock; and, having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away.
