And the women that followed Him from Galilee,
stood far off and watched these things.
There was a just and good man named Joseph, a member of the council who
did not consent to this deed. He was from the Jewish city of Arimathaea
and was awaiting the kingdom of God. He went to Pilate and asked for
the body of Jesus. Joseph took the body down, wrapped it in linen, and
laid it in a new sepulchre that was hewn in stone. It was the day of
preparation and the sabbath was about to begin. The women who came with
Jesus from Galilee followed along. They beheld the sepulchre and how
His body was laid. They returned and prepared spices and ointments,
then rested on the sabbath day according to the commandment.
24 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they
went to the sepulchre with the spices they had prepared, and certain
others were with them. They found the stone rolled away and they went
in, but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. The women were
perplexed and, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. In
fear, they bowed down their heads. Then the two said to them, Why do
you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen.
Remember how He spoke to you when He was yet in Galilee, saying, The
Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be
crucified, and the third day rise again? And they remembered His words.
