Luke 23:39-56
New American Standard Bible
39 (A)One of the criminals who were hanged there was [a]hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the [b]Christ? (B)Save Yourself and us!” 40 But the other responded, and rebuking him, said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving [c]what we deserve for our crimes; but this man has done nothing wrong.” 42 And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!” 43 And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in (C)Paradise.”
44 (D)It was now about [d](E)the sixth hour, and darkness came over the entire land until [e]the ninth hour, 45 [f]because the sun stopped shining; and (F)the veil of the temple was torn [g]in two. 46 And Jesus, (G)crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, (H)into Your hands I entrust My spirit.” And having said this, He [h]died. 47 (I)Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began (J)praising God, saying, “This man was in fact [i]innocent.” 48 And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, after watching what had happened, began to return home, [j](K)beating their chests. 49 (L)And all His acquaintances and (M)the women who accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, seeing these things.
Jesus Is Buried
50 (N)And a man named Joseph, who was a (O)member of the Council, a good and righteous man 51 (he had not consented to their plan and action), a man from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was (P)waiting for the kingdom of God— 52 this man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53 And he took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever lain. 54 It was a [k](Q)preparation day, and a Sabbath was about to [l]begin. 55 Now (R)the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was laid. 56 And then they returned and (S)prepared spices and perfumes.
And (T)on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
