Luke 23:44-56

New American Standard Bible

^44 (A)It was now about ^[a](B)the sixth hour, and darkness came over the entire land until ^[b]the ninth hour, ^45 [c]because the sun stopped shining; and ^(C)the veil of the temple was torn ^[d]in two. ⁴⁶ And Jesus, ^(D)crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, ^(E)into Your hands I entrust My spirit.” And having said this, He ^[e]died. ^47 (F)Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began ^(G)praising God, saying, “This man was in fact ^[f]innocent.” ⁴⁸ And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, after watching what had happened, began to return home, ^[g](H)beating their chests. ^49 (I)And all His acquaintances and ^(J)the women who accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, seeing these things.

Jesus Is Buried

^50 (K)And a man named Joseph, who was a ^(L)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 ^(M)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 ^[h](N)preparation day, and a Sabbath was about to ^[i]begin. ⁵⁵ Now ^(O)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 ^(P)prepared spices and perfumes.

And ^(Q)on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
