Luke 23:44-55

English Standard Version

The Death of Jesus

⁴⁴^(A)It was now about the sixth hour,^[a] and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour,^[b] ⁴⁵while the sun's light failed. And ^(B)the curtain of the temple was torn in two. ⁴⁶Then Jesus, ^(C)calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, ^(D)into your hands I ^(E)commit my spirit!” And having said this ^(F)he breathed his last. ⁴⁷Now ^(G)when the centurion saw what had taken place, ^(H)he praised God, saying, “Certainly this man was innocent!” ⁴⁸And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home ^(I)beating their breasts. ⁴⁹And all ^(J)his acquaintances and ^(K)the women who had followed him from Galilee ^(L)stood at a distance watching these things.

Jesus Is Buried

⁵⁰^(M)Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, ⁵¹who had not consented to their decision and action; and he ^(N)was looking for the kingdom of God. ⁵²This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁵³Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and ^(O)laid him in a tomb cut in stone, ^(P)where no one had ever yet been laid. ⁵⁴It was the day of ^(Q)Preparation, and the Sabbath was beginning.^[c] ⁵⁵^(R)The women ^(S)who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.

Jesus' Side Is Pierced

³¹Since it was ^(A)the day of Preparation, and ^(B)so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was ^(C)a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. ³²So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other ^(D)who had been crucified with him. ³³But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. ³⁴But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out ^(E)blood and water. ³⁵^(F)He who saw it has borne witness—^(G)his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—^(H)that you also may believe. ³⁶^(I)For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: ^(J)“Not one of his bones ^(K)will be broken.” ³⁷And again another Scripture says, ^(L)“They will look on him whom they have pierced.”

Jesus Is Buried

³⁸^(M)After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly ^(N)for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body. ³⁹^(O)Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus^[a] by night, came ^(P)bringing a mixture of ^(Q)myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds^[b] in weight. ⁴⁰So they took the body of Jesus and ^(R)bound it in ^(S)linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.
