And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. The next day that followeth the day of preparing, the high priests and Pharisees got themselves to Pilate, and said, "Sir, we remember that this deceiver said while he was yet alive, after three days I will arise again. Command, therefore, that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest peradventure his disciples come, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from death: And then the last error shall be worse than the first was." Pilate said unto them, "Take watchmen: Go and make it as sure as ye can." And they went and made the sepulchre sure with watchmen, and sealed the stone.

And behold, there was a man named Joseph, a councilor: and was a good man and a just; and did not consent to the counsel and deed of them; which was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews. Which same also, waited for the kingdom of God. He went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. read more.

There laid they Jesus because of the Jews' Sabbath even, for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

And Moses did even so before the elders of Israel. Verse ConceptsGod Providing WaterMiracles, Nature OfMiracles Of Moses And AaronTypes Of ChristSplitting RocksStriking RocksProvision From Rocks

and showed tokens and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they were presumptuous and cruel against them; and so madest thou thee a name as it is this day.

Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest unto them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, true laws, good commandments and statutes, and declared unto them thy holy Sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, ordinances, and laws, by Moses thy servant: and gavest them bread from heaven when they were hungry, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock when they were thirsty: and promised them, that they should go in, and take possession of the land, over which thou hadst lift up thine hand for to give them.
