Luke 23:47-24:12

English Standard Version

⁴⁷ Now ^(A)when the centurion saw what had taken place, ^(B)he praised God, saying, “Certainly this man was innocent!” ⁴⁸ And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home ^(C)beating their breasts. ⁴⁹ And all ^(D)his acquaintances and ^(E)the women who had followed him from Galilee ^(F)stood at a distance watching these things.

Jesus Is Buried

^50 (G)Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, ⁵¹ who had not consented to their decision and action; and he ^(H)was looking for the kingdom of God. ⁵² This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁵³ Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and ^(I)laid him in a tomb cut in stone, ^(J)where no one had ever yet been laid. ⁵⁴ It was the day of ^(K)Preparation, and the Sabbath was beginning.^{[a] 55 (L)}The women ^(M)who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid. ⁵⁶ Then they returned and ^(N)prepared spices and ointments.

On the Sabbath they rested ^(O)according to the commandment.

The Resurrection

24 ^(P)But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, ^(Q)taking the spices they had prepared. ² And they found ^(R)the stone rolled away from the tomb, ³ but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ While they were perplexed about this, behold, ^(S)two ^(T)men stood by them in dazzling apparel. ⁵ And as they were ^(U)frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? ⁶ He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, ^(V)while he was still in Galilee, ^7 (W)that the Son of Man ^(X)must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and ^(Y)be crucified and on ^(Z)the third day rise.” ⁸ And ^(AA)they remembered his words, ⁹ and returning from the tomb they ^(AB)told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. ¹⁰ Now it was ^(AC)Mary Magdalene and ^(AD)Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, ¹¹ but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and ^(AE)they did not believe them. ¹² But ^(AF)Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw ^(AG)the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.
