Thematic Bible: Taken down from the cross and buried (just outside jerusalem)


Thematic Bible



And, evening having come, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, whose name was Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus. This man, going to Pilate, asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given up. And, taking the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen, read more.
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. And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. And on the morrow which, indeed, is the day after the Preparation, the high priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate, saying, Sir, we were reminded that that Deceiver said, while yet living, 'After three days I rise again;' order, therefore, that the sepulchre be made secure until the third day, lest haply His disciples, coming, should steal Him away, and say to the people, 'He was raised from the dead;' and the last error will be worse than the first." And Pilate said to them, "Ye have a guard; go your way, secure it, as ye know how." And, going, they made the sepulchre secure, sealing the stone, in connection with the guard.

And, evening having already come, since it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, there came Joseph of Arimathaea, an honorable councillor; who also himself was looking for the Kingdom of God; and boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. And Pilate wondered, if He had already died; and, calling to him the centurion, he asked him, whether He were already dead. read more.
And, having learned it from the centurion, he granted the Corpse to Joseph. 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, behold, a man, Joseph by name, who was a councillor, a good and righteous man (the same had not consented to their plan and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was waiting for the Kingdom of God: the same, going to Pilate, asked for the body of Jesus. read more.
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 the women who had accompanied Him out of Galilee, following after, beheld the tomb, and how His body was laid. And, returning, they prepared spices and perfumes; and, on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

The Jews, therefore, (since it was the Preparation), that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, (for the day of that sabbath was great), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and they be taken away. The soldiers, therefore, came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with Him; but, when they came to Jesus, and saw that He was already dead, they broke not His legs; read more.
but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side, and straightway there came out blood and water. And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he says what is true, that ye also may believe. For these things came to pass, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of Him shall not be broken." And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him Whom they pierced." And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. He came, therefore, and took away His body. And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to Him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of Jews is to bury. Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been laid. There, therefore, on account of the Preparation of the Jews (because the tomb was near), they laid Jesus.
