Mark 15:37–47

³⁷Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.↗

³⁸The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.↗

³⁹When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”↗

⁴⁰There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;↗

⁴¹who, when he was in Galilee, followed him and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.↗

⁴²When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,↗

⁴³Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for God’s Kingdom, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.↗

⁴⁴Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.↗

⁴⁵When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.↗

⁴⁶He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.↗

⁴⁷Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.↗
