The Crucifixion
Mt 27:32-44; Lk 23:26-43; Jn 19:17-27
21 (Mt 27:32; Lk 23:26; Ro 16:13) They compelled a man named Simon
from Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was passing
through from the country, to bear Jesus' cross.
22 (Mt 27:33-44) They brought Him to the place called Golgotha,
which means, "Place of a Skull."
23 (Mt 27:34) They gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink,
but He did not take it.
24 When they had crucified Him, they divided His garments,
casting lots for them, to decide what each man should take.
[21] And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the
country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
[22] And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being
interpreted, The place of a skull.
[23] And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it
not.
[24] And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots
upon them, what every man should take.
Matthew 27:32-34
The Crucifixion
Mk 15:21-32; Lk 23:26-43; Jn 19:17-27
32 (Mk 15:21; Lk 23:26) As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene,
Simon by name. This man they compelled to bear His cross.
33 When they came to a place called Golgotha, which means
The Place of the Skull,
34 (Ps 69:21; Mt 27:48) they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink.
But when He tasted it, He would not drink it.
[32] And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him
they compelled to bear his cross.
[33] And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a
place of a skull,
[34] They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had
tasted thereof, he would not drink.
Luke 23:26-31
The Crucifixion
Mt 27:32-44; Mk 15:21-32; Jn 19:17-27
26 As they led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene, who was coming
from the country, and they laid the cross on him to carry it behind Jesus.
27 (Lk 8:52) A large number of people followed Him, including women
who mourned and lamented Him.
28 Jesus turned to them, saying, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for Me,
but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 (Mt 24:19; Hos 13:16) Listen, the days are coming when they will say,
'Blessed are the barren, who never bore and never nursed!'
30 (Isa 2:19; Hos 10:8) Then they will begin to say to the mountains,
'Fall on us,' and to the hills, 'Cover us.'
31 (Pr 11:31) For if men do these things when the tree is green,
what will happen when it is dry?"
[26] And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian,
coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might
bear it after Jesus.
[27] And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which
also bewailed and lamented him.
[28] But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for
me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
[29] For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed
are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave
suck.
[30] Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the
hills, Cover us.
[31] For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the
dry?
John 19:17
17 (Lk 23:33; 14:27; 23:26) He went out, carrying His own cross,
to a place called The Place of a Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.
[17] And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a
skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
Mark 15:25-32
25 (Mk 15:33; Jn 19:14) Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.
26 (Mt 27:37)The inscription of His accusation was written above:
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 With Him they crucified two thieves, one on His right
and the other on His left.
28 And the Scripture was fulfilled, which says, "He was numbered
with the lawless ones." (Isa 53:12.)
29 (Ps 109:25; Mk 14:58) Those who passed by blasphemed Him,
shaking their heads and saying, "Ah, You who would destroy the temple
and build it in three days,
30 save Yourself, and come down from the cross!"
31 Likewise the chief priests mocked Him among themselves
with the scribes and said, "He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!
32 (Lk 23:39-43; Mt 27:44) Let the Christ, the King of Israel,
descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe."
Those who were crucified with Him also reviled Him.
[25] And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
[26] And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF
THE JEWS.
[27] And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and
the other on his left.
[28] And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with
the transgressors.
[29] And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying,
Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
[30] Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
[31] Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the
scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
[32] Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may
see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
Matthew 27:35-44
35 (Ps 22:18) When they crucified Him, they divided His garments
by casting lots to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet,
"They divided My garments among themselves
and for My clothing they cast lots."(Ps 22:18.)
36 (Mt 27:54) And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.
37 (Mk 15:26; Lk 23:38) They put His accusation over His head, which read:
THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 (Isa 53:12) Then two thieves were crucified with Him, one on the right
and another on the left.
39 (Ps 109:25; La 1:12) Those who passed by insulted Him, wagging their heads,
40 (Mt 26:61; 4:3) saying, "You who would destroy the temple
and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God,
come down from the cross."
41 Likewise the chief priests, with the scribes and elders,
mocked Him, saying,
42 (Jn 1:49; Mt 27:37) "He saved others. He cannot save Himself.
If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross,
and we will believe Him.
43 (Ps 22:8) He trusted in God. Let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him.
For He said, 'I am the Son of God.' "
44 Even the thieves who were crucified with Him insulted Him in the same way.
[35] And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments
among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
[36] And sitting down they watched him there;
[37] And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING
OF THE JEWS.
[38] Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand,
and another on the left.
[39] And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
[40] And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three
days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
[41] Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and
elders, said,
[42] He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel,
let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
[43] He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he
said, I am the Son of God.
[44] The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his
teeth.
Luke 23:32-43
32 (Mk 15:27; Mt 27:38; Jn 19:18) Two different men, who were criminals,
also were led with Him to be killed.
33 (Mt 27:33-34; Mk 15:22-23) When they came to the place which is called
The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right
and one on the left.
34 (Ps 22:18; Mt 5:44; Mk 15:24) Jesus said, "Father, forgive them,
for they know not what they do." And they divided His clothes
by casting lots.
35 (Ps 22:17; Isa 42:1) The people stood by watching. But the rulers
with them scoffed, saying, "He saved others. Let Him save Himself
if He is the Christ, the Chosen One of God."
36 (Mt 27:48; Ps 69:21) And the soldiers also mocked Him,
coming to Him and offering Him sour wine,
37 saying, "If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself."
38 (Mt 27:37; Mk 15:26) An inscription was written over Him in letters
of Greek and Latin and Hebrew:
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 (Mt 27:44; Mk 15:32) One of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him,
saying, "If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us!"
40 But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God,
seeing you are under the same sentence?
41 And we indeed, justly. For we are receiving the due reward of our deeds.
But this Man has done nothing amiss."
42 Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom."
43 (Rev 2:7; Isa 53:11; 2Co 5:8) Jesus said to him,
"Truly, I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise."
[32] And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to
death.
[33] And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there
they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the
other on the left.
[34] Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
[35] And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided
him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the
chosen of God.
[36] And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him
vinegar,
[37] And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
[38] And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and
Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
[39] And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If
thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
[40] But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God,
seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
[41] And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but
this man hath done nothing amiss.
[42] And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy
kingdom.
[43] And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be
with me in paradise.
John 19:18-27
18 There they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side,
and Jesus in the middle.
19 (Mt 27:37; Mk 15:26) Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross.
The writing was:
JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 (Jn 19:13) Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus
was crucified was near the city. And it was written in Hebrew,
in Greek, and in Latin.
21 (Jn 19:14) The chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate,
"Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but 'He said, I am King of the Jews.' "
22 Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."
23 (Lk 23:34; Mt 27:35) When the soldiers had crucified Jesus,
they took His garments and divided them into four parts,
a part for each soldier; and also His tunic.
Now the tunic was seamless, woven from top to bottom.
24 (Ps 22:18; Jn 19:28) So they said to one another,
"Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it shall be."
This happened to fulfill the Scripture which says:
"They divided My garments among them,
and for My clothing they cast lots." (Ps 22:18.)
Therefore the soldiers did these things.
25 (Lk 23:49; Mt 27:55-56; Mk 15:40-41) But standing by the cross of Jesus
were His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas,
and Mary Magdalene.
26 (Jn 13:23; 2:4; 20:2) When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple
whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother,
"Woman, here is your son."
27 (Jn 16:32; 1:11) Then He said to the disciple, "Here is your mother."
From that time, this disciple took her to his own home.
[18] Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one,
and Jesus in the midst.
[19] And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was,
JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
[20] This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was
crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and
Latin.
[21] Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King
of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
[22] Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
[23] Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments,
and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the
coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
[24] They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots
for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which
saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast
lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
[25] Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's
sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
[26] When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom
he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
[27] Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour
that disciple took her unto his own home.
Mark 15:33-41
The Death of Jesus
Mt 27:45-56; Lk 23:44-49; Jn 19:28-30
33 (Mt 27:45; Mk 15:25; Lk 23:44-45) When the sixth hour had come,
there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 (Ps 22:1; Mt 27:46; Lk 23:46) And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out
with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means,
"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"(Ps 22:1.)
35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said,
"Listen, He is calling Elijah!"
36 (Ps 69:21; Mk 15:23) One man ran and filled a sponge with vinegar,
put it on a stick, and gave it to Him to drink, saying,
"Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down."
37 (Jn 19:30; Mt 27:50) But Jesus cried with a loud voice
and gave up the spirit.
38 (Lk 23:45) And the curtain of the temple was torn
in two from top to bottom.
39 (Mt 27:54; 27:43) When the centurion
(Commander with the rank of captain over 100 soldiers.)
who stood facing Him saw that He cried out and gave up the spirit,
he said, "Truly, this Man was the Son of God."
40 (Ps 38:11; Mt 27:55-56) There were also women looking on from
a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother
of James the Less and of Joseph, and Salome.
41 (Lk 8:2-3) They also had followed Him and had ministered
to Him when He was in Galilee. And many other women who came up
with Him to Jerusalem were there.
[33] And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole
land until the ninth hour.
[34] And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi,
Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me?
[35] And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he
calleth Elias.
[36] And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed,
and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come
to take him down.
[37] And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
[38] And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the
bottom.
[39] And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so
cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of
God.
[40] There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary
Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the
less and of Joses, and Salome;
[41] (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto
him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
Matthew 27:45-56
The Death of Jesus
Mk 15:33-41; Lk 23:44-49; Jn 19:28-30
45 (Am 8:9; Mk 15:33-34) Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour
there was darkness over all the land.
46 (Ps 22:1; Lk 23:46; Heb 5:7) About the ninth hour Jesus cried out
with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means,
"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"(Ps 22:1.)
47 Some of those who stood there heard it and said,
"This Man is calling for Elijah."
48 (Ps 69:21; Mt 27:34) Immediately one of them ran, took a sponge,
filled it with wine, and put it on a stick, and gave it to Him to drink.
49 The rest said, "Leave Him alone.
Let us see if Elijah will come to save Him."
50 (Jn 19:30; Mk 15:37) And Jesus, when He had cried out again
with a loud voice, released His spirit.
51 (Mk 15:38; Ex 26:31-37) At that moment the curtain of the temple
was torn in two, from the top to the bottom. And the ground shook,
and the rocks split apart.
52 (1Co 15:20; 1Th 4:14) The graves also were opened, and many bodies
of the saints who had died were raised,
53 (Mt 4:5) and coming out of the graves after His resurrection,
they went into the Holy City and appeared to many.
54 (Mt 27:36; 27:43) When the centurion and those with him,
keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place,
they feared greatly and said, "Truly He was the Son of God!"
55 (Lk 8:2-3) Many women who were there watching from afar followed
Jesus from Galilee, serving Him,
56 (Jn 19:25; Mt 28:1) among whom was Mary Magdalene,
and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.
[45] Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the
ninth hour.
[46] And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli,
Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou
forsaken me?
[47] Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man
calleth for Elias.
[48] And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with
vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
[49] The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
[50] Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
[51] And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to
the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
[52] And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept
arose,
[53] And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the
holy city, and appeared unto many.
[54] Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus,
saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly,
saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
[55] And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from
Galilee, ministering unto him:
[56] Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses,
and the mother of Zebedee's children.
Luke 23:44-49
The Death of Jesus
Mt 27:45-56; Mk 15:33-41; Jn 19:28-30
44 (Am 8:9; Mt 27:45) It was now about the sixth hour,
and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour,
45 (Ex 26:31-33; 2Ch 3:14) while the sun was darkened.
And the veil of the temple was torn in the middle.
46 (Jn 19:30; Ps 31:5; Ac 7:59) And Jesus cried out with a loud voice,
"Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit."
Having said this, He gave up the spirit.
47 (Mt 27:54; Mk 15:39) When the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified
God and said, :Certainly, this was a righteous Man."
48 (Lk 18:13) All the crowds who came together to that sight,
witnessing what occurred, struck their chests and returned.
49 (Lk 8:2; Ps 38:11; Mt 27:55-56) But all those who knew Him
and the women accompanying Him from Galilee stood at a distance,
seeing these things.
[44] And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the
earth until the ninth hour.
[45] And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the
midst.
[46] And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy
hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
[47] Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying,
Certainly this was a righteous man.
[48] And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the
things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
[49] And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee,
stood afar off, beholding these things.
John 19:28-37
The Death of Jesus
Mt 27:45-56; Mk 15:33-41; Lk 23:44-49
28 (Ps 69:21; Jn 13:1) After this, Jesus, knowing that everything
was now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said,
"I thirst."
29 (Mt 27:48; Mk 15:36) A bowl full of sour wine was placed there.
So they put a sponge full of sour wine on hyssop and held it to His mouth.
30 (Lk 23:46; Jn 17:4) When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said,
"It is finished." And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
[28] After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that
the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
[29] Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge
with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
[30] When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished:
and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
The Piercing of Jesus' Side
31 (Jn 19:14; 19:42; Jos 8:29) Since it was the Day of Preparation,
to prevent bodies from remaining on the cross on the Sabbath day
(for that Sabbath day was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate
that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 (Jn 19:18) Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first
and of the other who was crucified with Him.
33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was dead already,
they did not break His legs.
34 (1Jn 5:6; 5:8) However, one of the soldiers pierced His side
with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
35 (Jn 21:24; 15:27) He who saw it has testified, and his testimony is true.
He knows that he is telling the truth, that you may believe.
36 (Ps 34:20; Ex 12:46; Nu 9:12) For these things happened so that
the Scripture should be fulfilled, "Not one of His bones shall be broken,"
(Ex 12:46; Nu 9:12; Ps 34:20.)
37 (Zec 12:10; Rev 1:7; Ps 22:16-17) and again another Scripture says,
"They shall look on Him whom they have pierced." (Zec 12:10.)
[31] The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies
should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day
was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that
they might be taken away.
[32] Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the
other which was crucified with him.
[33] But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they
brake not his legs:
[34] But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith
came there out blood and water.
[35] And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth
that he saith true, that ye might believe.
[36] For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A
bone of him shall not be broken.
[37] And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they
pierced.
Mark 15:42-47
The Burial of Jesus
Mt 27:57-61; Lk 23:50-56; Jn 19:38-42
42 When the evening had come, because it was the Day of Preparation,
that is, the day before the Sabbath,
43 (Lk 2:25; 2:38) Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable member of the Council,
who also waited for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate,
and requested the body of Jesus.
44 Pilate wondered if He were already dead. And calling for the centurion,
he asked him whether He had been dead for a while.
45 When he learned about it from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
46 (Isa 22:16; 53:9) So he bought fine linen, and taking Him down,
wrapped Him in the linen and laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn
out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
47 (Mk 15:40; 16:1) Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw
where He was laid.
[42] And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that
is, the day before the sabbath,
[43] Joseph of Arimathaea, and honourable counseller, which also waited for
the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the
body of Jesus.
[44] And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the
centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
[45] And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
[46] And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the
linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled
a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
[47] And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was
laid.
Matthew 27:57-61
The Burial of Jesus
Mk 15:42-47; Lk 23:50-56; Jn 19:38-42
57 (Jn 19:38-42) When the evening came, there came a rich man of Arimathea,
named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus.
58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him.
59 When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 (Mt 27:66; 28:2) and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out of
the rock. And he rolled a large stone to the door of the tomb and departed.
61 (Mt 27:56; 28:1) Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there,
sitting opposite the tomb.
[57] When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named
Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
[58] He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded
the body to be delivered.
[59] And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen
cloth,
[60] And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and
he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
[61] And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against
the sepulchre.
Luke 23:50-56
The Burial of Jesus
Mt 27:57-61; Mk 15:42-47; Jn 19:38-42
50 Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council,
who was a good and just man.
51 (Lk 2:25; 2:38) He had not consented to their counsel and deed.
He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews,
and he himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God.
52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 (Isa 53:9) Then he took Him down, and wrapped Him in linen,
and placed Him in a hewn tomb, where no one had ever been buried.
54 (Mt 27:62; Jn 19:31) It was the Day of Preparation,
and the Sabbath was drawing near.
55 (Lk 23:49) The women who came with Him from Galilee followed,
and saw the tomb and how His body was placed.
56 (Mk 16:1; Lk 24:1) Then they returned and prepared spices
and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
[50] And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counseller; and he was a
good man, and a just:
[51] (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of
Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of
God.
[52] This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
[53] And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a
sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
[54] And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
[55] And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after,
and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
[56] And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the
sabbath day according to the commandment.
John 19:38-42
The Burial of Jesus
Mt 27:57-61; Mk 15:42-47; Lk 23:50-56
38 After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus,
but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might
take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission.
So he came and took away His body.
39 (SS 4:14) Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night,
also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes,
weighing about seventy-five pounds.
(Gk. a hundred litrai or 34 kilograms.)
40 (Jn 11:44; Lk 24:12) Then they took the body of Jesus
and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices,
as is the burial custom of the Jews.
41 (Lk 23:53; Mt 27:60) Now in the place where He was crucified there was
a garden, and in the garden was a new tomb in which no one had
ever been buried.
42 (Jn 19:14; 19:31)So because of the Jewish Day of Preparation,
and since the tomb was nearby, they buried Jesus there.
[38] And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but
secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the
body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the
body of Jesus.
[39] And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by
night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound
weight.
[40] Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with
the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
[41] Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the
garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
[42] There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day;
for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
Matthew 27:62-66
The Guard at the Tomb
62 (Mk 15:42; Jn 19:14) The next day, following the Day of Preparation,
the chief priests and Pharisees gathered before Pilate,
63 (Mt 16:21; 17:23) saying, "Sir, we remember that deceiver saying
while He was still alive, 'After three days I will rise.'
64 (Mt 28:13) Therefore command that the tomb be made secure
until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away,
and tell the people, 'He has risen from the dead.'
The last deception will be worse than the first."
65 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard. Go your way.
Make it as secure as you can."
66 (Da 6:17) So they went and made the tomb secure
by sealing the stone and posting the guard.
[62] Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief
priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
[63] Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet
alive, After three days I will rise again.
[64] Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day,
lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the
people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the
first.
[65] Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as
ye can.
[66] So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and
setting a watch.
