The Plot to Kill Jesus
22 The(A) Festival of Unleavened Bread,(B) which is called Passover,(C) was drawing near. 2 The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put Him to death,(D) because they were afraid of the people.(E)
3 Then(F) Satan entered Judas,(G) called Iscariot,(H) who was numbered among the Twelve. 4 He went away and discussed with the chief priests and temple police(I) how he could hand Him over(J) to them. 5 They were glad and agreed to give him silver.[a] 6 So he accepted the offer and started looking for a good opportunity to betray Him to them when the crowd was not present.
Preparation for Passover
7 Then(K) the Day of Unleavened Bread came when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.(L) 8 Jesus sent Peter and John,(M) saying, “Go and prepare the Passover meal for us, so we can eat it.”
9 “Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked Him.
10 “Listen,” He said to them, “when you’ve entered the city, a man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him into the house he enters. 11 Tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks you, “Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover with My disciples?”’ 12 Then he will show you a large, furnished room upstairs.(N) Make the preparations there.”
13 So they went and found it just as He had told them,(O) and they prepared the Passover.
The First Lord’s Supper
14 When(P) the hour came, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him. 15 Then He said to them, “I have fervently desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again[b] until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”(Q) 17 Then He took a cup,(R) and after giving thanks,(S) He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves. 18 For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
19 And He took bread, gave thanks, broke it, gave it to them, and said, “This is My body,(T) which is given for you. Do this in remembrance(U) of Me.”
20 In the same way He also took the cup after supper and said, “This cup is the new covenant(V) established by My blood;(W) it is shed for you.[c] 21 But(X) look, the hand of the one betraying Me is at the table with Me!(Y) 22 For the Son of Man will go away as it has been determined,(Z) but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”
23 So they began to argue(AA) among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do this thing.
The Dispute over Greatness
24 Then a dispute also arose among them about who should be considered the greatest.(AB) 25 But He said to them,(AC) “The kings of the Gentiles dominate them, and those who have authority over them are called[d] ‘Benefactors.’[e] 26 But it must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever is greatest among you must become like the youngest,(AD) and whoever leads, like the one serving. 27 For who is greater, the one at the table or the one serving? Isn’t it the one at the table? But I am among you as the One who serves.(AE) 28 You are the ones who stood by Me in My trials.(AF) 29 I bestow on you a kingdom,(AG) just as My Father bestowed one on Me, 30 so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom.(AH) And you will sit on thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel.(AI)
Peter’s Denial Predicted
31 “Simon, Simon,[f] look out! Satan(AJ) has asked to sift you[g] like wheat.(AK) 32 But I have prayed(AL) for you[h] that your faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned back, strengthen(AM) your brothers.”
33 “Lord,”(AN) he told Him, “I’m ready to go with You both to prison and to death!”
34 “I tell you, Peter,” He said, “the rooster will not crow today until[i] you deny three times that you know Me!”
Be Ready for Trouble
35 He also said to them, “When I sent you out(AO) without money-bag, traveling bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?”
“Not a thing,” they said.
36 Then He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money-bag should take it, and also a traveling bag. And whoever doesn’t have a sword should sell his robe and buy one. 37 For I tell you, what is written must be fulfilled in Me: And He was counted among the outlaws.(AP)[j] Yes, what is written about Me is coming to its fulfillment.”(AQ)
38 “Lord,” they said, “look, here are two swords.”
“Enough of that!”[k] He told them.
The Prayer in the Garden
39 He went out and made His way(AR) as usual(AS) to the Mount of Olives,(AT) and the disciples followed Him. 40 When He reached the place,(AU) He told them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”(AV) 41 Then He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and began to pray,(AW) 42 “Father, if You are willing, take this cup(AX) away from Me—nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done.”
[43 Then an angel from heaven(AY) appeared to Him, strengthening Him. 44 Being in anguish,(AZ) He prayed more fervently, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.][l] 45 When He got up from prayer and came to the disciples, He found them sleeping, exhausted from their grief.[m] 46 “Why are you sleeping?” He asked them. “Get up and pray, so that you won’t enter into temptation.”
The Judas Kiss
47 While(BA) He was still speaking, suddenly a mob was there, and one of the Twelve named Judas was leading them. He came near Jesus to kiss Him, 48 but Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49 When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they asked, “Lord, should we strike with the sword?” 50 Then one of them struck the high priest’s slave and cut off his right ear.
51 But Jesus responded, “No more of this!”[n] And touching his ear, He healed him. 52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple police, and the elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a criminal?[o] 53 Every day while I was with you in the temple complex,(BB) you never laid a hand on Me. But this is your hour(BC)—and the dominion of darkness.”(BD)
Peter Denies His Lord
54 They seized Him, led Him away, and brought Him into the high priest’s house. Meanwhile Peter(BE) was following at a distance. 55 They(BF) lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard(BG) and sat down together, and Peter sat among them. 56 When a servant saw him sitting in the firelight, and looked closely at him, she said, “This man was with Him too.”
57 But he denied it: “Woman, I don’t know Him!”
58 After a little while, someone else saw him and said, “You’re one of them too!”
“Man, I am not!” Peter said.
59 About an hour later, another kept insisting, “This man was certainly with Him, since he’s also a Galilean.”
60 But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. 61 Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter.(BH) So Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”(BI) 62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
Jesus Mocked and Beaten
63 The men who were holding Jesus started mocking and beating Him.(BJ) 64 After blindfolding Him, they kept[p] asking, “Prophesy! Who hit You?” 65 And they were saying many other blasphemous(BK) things against Him.
Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin
66 When daylight came,(BL) the elders[q] of the people, both the chief priests and the scribes,(BM) convened and brought Him before their Sanhedrin.(BN) 67 They said,(BO) “If You are the Messiah, tell us.”
But He said to them, “If I do tell you, you will not believe. 68 And if I ask you, you will not answer. 69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the Power of God.”(BP)
70 They all asked, “Are You, then, the Son of God?”(BQ)
And He said to them, “You say that I am.”(BR)
71 “Why do we need any more testimony,” they said, “since we’ve heard it ourselves from His mouth?”
Jesus Faces Pilate
23 Then(BS) their whole assembly rose up and brought Him before Pilate. 2 They began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, opposing payment of taxes(BT) to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is the Messiah, a King.”
3 So Pilate asked Him,(BU) “Are You the King of the Jews?”(BV)
He answered him, “You have said it.”[r]
4 Pilate then told the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no grounds(BW) for charging this man.”
5 But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people,(BX) teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee(BY) where He started even to here.”
Jesus Faces Herod Antipas
6 When Pilate(BZ) heard this,[s] he asked if the man was a Galilean. 7 Finding that He was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod,(CA) who was also in Jerusalem during those days. 8 Herod was very glad to see Jesus; for a long time he had wanted to see Him because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see some miracle[t] performed by Him. 9 So he kept asking Him questions, but Jesus did not answer him.(CB) 10 The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing Him. 11 Then Herod, with his soldiers, treated Him with contempt, mocked(CC) Him, dressed Him in a brilliant robe,(CD) and sent Him back to Pilate. 12 That very day Herod and Pilate became friends.[u](CE) Previously, they had been hostile toward each other.
Jesus or Barabbas
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the leaders, and the people,(CF) 14 and said to them, “You have brought me this man as one who subverts the people.(CG) But in fact, after examining Him in your presence, I have found no grounds(CH) to charge this man with those things you accuse Him of. 15 Neither has Herod, because he sent Him back to us. Clearly, He has done nothing to deserve death. 16 Therefore, I will have Him whipped[v](CI) and then release Him.” [17 For according to the festival he had to release someone to them.][w](CJ)
18 Then(CK) they all cried out together, “Take this man away!(CL) Release Barabbas to us!” 19 (He had been thrown into prison for a rebellion that had taken place in the city, and for murder.)
20 Pilate, wanting to release Jesus,(CM) addressed them again, 21 but they kept shouting, “Crucify! Crucify Him!”
22 A third time he said to them, “Why? What has this man done wrong?(CN) I have found in Him no grounds(CO) for the death penalty. Therefore, I will have Him whipped and then release Him.”
23 But they kept up the pressure, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And their voices[x] won out. 24 So(CP) Pilate decided to grant their demand(CQ) 25 and released the one they were asking for, who had been thrown into prison for rebellion and murder. But he handed Jesus over to their will.(CR)
The Way to the Cross
26 As(CS) they led Him away, they seized Simon, a Cyrenian,(CT) who was coming in from the country, and laid the cross(CU) on him to carry behind Jesus. 27 A large crowd of people followed Him, including women who were mourning and lamenting Him.(CV) 28 But turning to them, Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem,(CW) do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and your children. 29 Look, the days are coming(CX) when they will say, ‘The women without children, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed, are fortunate!’(CY) 30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’(CZ)[y] 31 For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”(DA)
Crucified between Two Criminals
32 Two others—criminals(DB)—were also led away to be executed with Him. 33 When(DC) they arrived at the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on the right and one on the left. [34 Then Jesus said, “Father,(DD) forgive(DE) them, because they do not know what they are doing.”(DF)][z] And they divided His clothes and cast lots.(DG)
35 The(DH) people stood watching, and even the leaders kept scoffing:(DI) “He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One!”(DJ) 36 The soldiers also mocked Him. They came offering Him sour wine(DK) 37 and said, “If You are the King of the Jews,(DL) save Yourself!”
38 An inscription was above Him:[aa]
THIS IS
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Then(DM) one of the criminals hanging there began to yell insults at[ab] Him: “Aren’t You the Messiah? Save Yourself and us!”
40 But the other answered, rebuking him: “Don’t you even fear God,(DN) since you are undergoing the same punishment? 41 We are punished justly, because we’re getting back what we deserve for the things we did, but this man has done nothing wrong.”(DO) 42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me[ac](DP) when You come into Your kingdom!”(DQ)
43 And He said to him, “I assure you: Today you will be with Me in paradise.”(DR)
The Death of Jesus
44 It(DS) was now about noon,[ad] and darkness came over the whole land[ae] until three,[af] 45 because the sun’s light failed.[ag] The curtain(DT) of the sanctuary was split down the middle. 46 And Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I entrust My spirit.”(DU)[ah] Saying this, He breathed His last.
47 When the centurion saw what happened, he began to glorify(DV) God, saying, “This man really was righteous!” 48 All the crowds that had gathered for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, went home, striking their chests.[ai](DW) 49 But(DX) all who knew Him, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance,(DY) watching these things.
The Burial of Jesus
50 There(DZ) was a good and righteous man named Joseph, a member of the Sanhedrin, 51 who had not agreed with their plan(EA) and action. He was from Arimathea, a Judean town, and was looking forward to the kingdom of God.(EB) 52 He approached Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 53 Taking it down, he wrapped it in fine linen and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever been placed.[aj](EC) 54 It was preparation day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.[ak] 55 The women(ED) who had come with Him from Galilee followed along and observed the tomb and how His body was placed. 56 Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes.(EE) And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.(EF)

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(A)
22 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,(B) 2 and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus,(C) for they were afraid of the people. 3 Then Satan(D) entered Judas, called Iscariot,(E) one of the Twelve. 4 And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard(F) and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus. 5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.(G) 6 He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present.
The Last Supper(H)(I)(J)(K)(L)
7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.(M) 8 Jesus sent Peter and John,(N) saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”
9 “Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked.
10 He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.”
13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them.(O) So they prepared the Passover.
14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles(P) reclined at the table.(Q) 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.(R) 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”(S)
17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it,(T) and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant(U) in my blood, which is poured out for you.[a] 21 But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table.(V) 22 The Son of Man(W) will go as it has been decreed.(X) But woe to that man who betrays him!” 23 They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.
24 A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.(Y) 25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. 26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest,(Z) and the one who rules like the one who serves.(AA) 27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.(AB) 28 You are those who have stood by me in my trials. 29 And I confer on you a kingdom,(AC) just as my Father conferred one on me, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom(AD) and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.(AE)
31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked(AF) to sift all of you as wheat.(AG) 32 But I have prayed for you,(AH) Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”(AI)
33 But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”(AJ)
34 Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”
35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals,(AK) did you lack anything?”
“Nothing,” they answered.
36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 37 It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’[b];(AL) and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.”
38 The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.”
“That’s enough!” he replied.
Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives(AM)
39 Jesus went out as usual(AN) to the Mount of Olives,(AO) and his disciples followed him. 40 On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.”(AP) 41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down(AQ) and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup(AR) from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”(AS) 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.(AT) 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.[c]
45 When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”(AU)
Jesus Arrested(AV)
47 While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him, 48 but Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49 When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”(AW) 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
51 But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.
52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard,(AX) and the elders, who had come for him, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs? 53 Every day I was with you in the temple courts,(AY) and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour(AZ)—when darkness reigns.”(BA)
Peter Disowns Jesus(BB)
54 Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest.(BC) Peter followed at a distance.(BD) 55 And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. 56 A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with him.”
57 But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him,” he said.
58 A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.”
“Man, I am not!” Peter replied.
59 About an hour later another asserted, “Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.”(BE)
60 Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 The Lord(BF) turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.”(BG) 62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
The Guards Mock Jesus(BH)
63 The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking and beating him. 64 They blindfolded him and demanded, “Prophesy! Who hit you?” 65 And they said many other insulting things to him.(BI)
Jesus Before Pilate and Herod(BJ)(BK)(BL)
66 At daybreak the council(BM) of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and the teachers of the law, met together,(BN) and Jesus was led before them. 67 “If you are the Messiah,” they said, “tell us.”
Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe me, 68 and if I asked you, you would not answer.(BO) 69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God.”(BP)
70 They all asked, “Are you then the Son of God?”(BQ)
He replied, “You say that I am.”(BR)
71 Then they said, “Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from his own lips.”
23 Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate.(BS) 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation.(BT) He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar(BU) and claims to be Messiah, a king.”(BV)
3 So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
“You have said so,” Jesus replied.
4 Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”(BW)
5 But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee(BX) and has come all the way here.”
6 On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean.(BY) 7 When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod,(BZ) who was also in Jerusalem at that time.
8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him.(CA) From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort. 9 He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer.(CB) 10 The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him. 11 Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe,(CC) they sent him back to Pilate. 12 That day Herod and Pilate became friends(CD)—before this they had been enemies.
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people, 14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against him.(CE) 15 Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death. 16 Therefore, I will punish him(CF) and then release him.” [17] [d]
18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”(CG) 19 (Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)
20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again. 21 But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
22 For the third time he spoke to them: “Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him.”(CH)
23 But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed. 24 So Pilate decided to grant their demand. 25 He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for, and surrendered Jesus to their will.
The Crucifixion of Jesus(CI)
26 As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene,(CJ) who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus.(CK) 27 A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed(CL) for him. 28 Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.(CM) 29 For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’(CN) 30 Then
31 For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”(CP)
32 Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed.(CQ) 33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, “Father,(CR) forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”[f](CS) And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.(CT)
35 The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him.(CU) They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”(CV)
36 The soldiers also came up and mocked him.(CW) They offered him wine vinegar(CX) 37 and said, “If you are the king of the Jews,(CY) save yourself.”
38 There was a written notice above him, which read: this is the king of the jews.(CZ)
39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”(DA)
40 But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”(DB)
42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.[g]”(DC)
43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”(DD)
The Death of Jesus(DE)
44 It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon,(DF) 45 for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple(DG) was torn in two.(DH) 46 Jesus called out with a loud voice,(DI) “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”[h](DJ) When he had said this, he breathed his last.(DK)
47 The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God(DL) and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.” 48 When all the people who had gathered to witness this sight saw what took place, they beat their breasts(DM) and went away. 49 But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee,(DN) stood at a distance,(DO) watching these things.
The Burial of Jesus(DP)
50 Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man, 51 who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea, and he himself was waiting for the kingdom of God.(DQ) 52 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body. 53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid. 54 It was Preparation Day,(DR) and the Sabbath was about to begin.
55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee(DS) followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. 56 Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes.(DT) But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.(DU)
