Thus many of the Jewish residents of Jerusalem<n id="1" /> read this notice,<n id="2" /> because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the notice was written in Aramaic,<n id="3" /> Latin, and Greek.

<t /><p class="bodytext">After this, Joseph of Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus (but secretly, because he feared the Jewish leaders<n id="1" />),<n id="2" /> asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. Pilate<n id="3" /> gave him permission, so he went and took the body away.<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the disciples had gathered together<n id="1" /> and locked the doors<n id="2" /> of the place<n id="3" /> because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders.<n id="4" /> Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, &#8220;Peace be with you.&#8221;
