Part 6 of 6 · Complete, unabridged verses · No AI retelling

46Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said,“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!”Having said this, he breathed his last.↗

47When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”↗

48All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their chests.↗

49All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.↗

50Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man↗

51(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.↗

52This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.↗

53He took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.↗

54It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.↗

55The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.↗

56They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.↗
