Mark 15:42--16:1
Jesus’ Burial
15:42 Now when evening had already come, since it was the day of preparation (that is, the day before the Sabbath),
15:43 Joseph of Arimathea, a highly regarded member of the council, who was himself looking forward to the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
15:44 Pilate was surprised that he was already dead. He called the centurion and asked him if he had been dead for some time.
15:45 When Pilate was informed by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
15:46 After Joseph bought a linen cloth and took down the body, he wrapped it in the linen and placed it in a tomb cut out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone across the entrance of the tomb.
15:47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where the body was placed.
The Resurrection
16:1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought aromatic spices so that they might go and anoint him.
Luke 23:53--24:3
23:53 Then
he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth,
and placed it
in a tomb cut out of the rock,
where no one had yet been buried.
23:54 It was the day of preparation
and the Sabbath was beginning.
23:55 The
women who had accompanied Jesus
from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it.
23:56 Then
they returned and prepared aromatic spices
and perfumes.
On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
The Resurrection
24:1 Now on the first day of the week, at early dawn, the women went to the tomb, taking the aromatic spices they had prepared.
24:2 They found that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb,
24:3 but when they went in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
John 12:7
12:7 So Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept it for the day of my burial.
John 19:32-42
19:32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men who had been crucified
with Jesus,
first the one and then the other.
19:33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
19:34 But one of the soldiers pierced
his side with a spear, and blood and water
flowed out immediately.
19:35 And the person who saw it
has testified (and his testimony is true, and he
knows that he is telling the truth),
so that you also may believe.
19:36 For these things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled, “
Not a bone of his will be broken.”
19:37 And again another scripture says, “
They will look on the one whom they have pierced.”
Jesus’ Burial
19:38 After this, Joseph of Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus (but secretly, because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he went and took the body away.
19:39 Nicodemus, the man who had previously come to Jesus at night, accompanied Joseph, carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about seventy-five pounds.
19:40 Then they took Jesus’ body and wrapped it, with the aromatic spices, in strips of linen cloth according to Jewish burial customs.
19:41 Now at the place where Jesus was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden was a new tomb where no one had yet been buried.
19:42 And so, because it was the Jewish day of preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus’ body there.
