23:39 One of the criminals who was hanging there railed at him, saying, “Aren’t 2 you the Christ? 3 Save yourself and us!” 23:40 But the other rebuked him, saying, 4 “Don’t 5 you fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 6 23:41 And we rightly so, for we are getting what we deserve for what we did, but this man has done nothing 7 wrong.” 23:42 Then 8 he said, “Jesus, remember me 9 when you come in 10 your kingdom.” 23:43 And Jesus 11 said to him, “I tell you the truth, 12 today 13 you will be with me in paradise.” 14
23:44 It was now 15 about noon, 16 and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, 17 23:45 because the sun’s light failed. 18 The temple curtain 19 was torn in two. 23:46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” 20 And after he said this he breathed his last.
23:47 Now when the centurion 21 saw what had happened, he praised God and said, “Certainly this man was innocent!” 22 23:48 And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts. 23 23:49 And all those who knew Jesus 24 stood at a distance, and the women who had followed him from Galilee saw 25 these things.
23:50 Now 26 there was a man named Joseph who was a member of the council, 27 a good and righteous man. 23:51 (He 28 had not consented 29 to their plan and action.) He 30 was from the Judean town 31 of Arimathea, and was looking forward to 32 the kingdom of God. 33 23:52 He went to Pilate and asked for the body 34 of Jesus. 23:53 Then 35 he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, 36 and placed it 37 in a tomb cut out of the rock, 38 where no one had yet been buried. 39 23:54 It was the day of preparation 40 and the Sabbath was beginning. 41 23:55 The 42 women who had accompanied Jesus 43 from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. 23:56 Then 44 they returned and prepared aromatic spices 45 and perfumes. 46
On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment. 47
