Then Simon Peter, since he had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave’s name was Malchus.

Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority over Me at all, if it had not been given to you from above; for this reason the one who handed Me over to you has the greater sin.”

Care of the Body of Jesus

Now then, since it was the day of preparation, to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews requested of Pilate that their legs be broken, and the bodies be taken away.

Therefore because of the Jewish day of preparation, since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.”
