When evening came, because it was the preparation day before the
sabbath, Joseph of Arimathaea, an honorable counsellor, who also waited
for the kingdom of God, went to Pilate to request the body of Jesus.
Pilate marvelled that He was already dead. He called the centurion to
him to find out how long He had been dead. When he learned it from the
centurion, he released the body. Joseph brought fine linen, took Him
down, and wrapped Him in the linen. He laid Him in a sepulchre hewn out
of rock, and rolled a stone across the entrance. Mary Magdalene and
Mary the mother of Joses watched where He was laid.
16 When the sabbath was past, very early in the morning the
first day of the week, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and
Salome, went to the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. With them they
brought sweet spices that they might anoint Him. They said among
themselves, Who shall roll the stone away from the door of the
sepulchre for us? Then, when they looked, they saw that the large stone
was rolled away.
Entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right
side, clothed in a long white garment. They were frightened. But he
said, Be not afraid. Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He
is risen. He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. But go
your way, tell His disciples and Peter that He goes before you into
Galilee.
