Aha, thou that destroyest the
temple, and buildest it in three days; (30)save thyself, and come down
from the cross. (31)Likewise also the chief priests, mocking one with
another, together with the scribes, said: Others he saved, himself he
can not save. (32)Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now
from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were
crucified with him reproached him.

(33)And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the
whole land until the ninth hour. (34)And at the ninth hour Jesus cried
with a loud voice, saying: Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? Which is
interpreted: My God, my God, why didst thou forsake me? (35)And some
of those standing by, hearing it, said: Behold, he calls Elijah.
(36)And one ran and filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it on a
reed, and gave him to drink, saying: Let alone; let us see whether
Elijah comes to take him down. (37)And Jesus, uttering a loud cry,
expired. (38)And the vail of the temple was rent in twain, from the
top to the bottom. (39)And the centurion who was standing near, over
against him, seeing that he so cried out and expired, said: Truly this
man was the Son of God.

(40)And there were also women looking on afar off; among whom was also
Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of
Joses, and Salome; (41)who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him,
and ministered to him; and many other women who came up with him to
Jerusalem.

(42)And evening having now come, since it was the preparation (which
is the day before the sabbath[15:42]), (43)Joseph from Arimathaea, an
honorable counselor, who also was himself waiting for the kingdom of
God, came and went in boldly to Pilate, and asked for the body of
Jesus. (44)And Pilate marveled, if he were already dead; and calling
to him the centurion, he asked him if he had been long dead. (45)And
having learned it from the centurion, he gave the dead body to Joseph.
(46)And having bought fine linen, and taken him down, he wrapped him
in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a
rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre. (47)And Mary
the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, beheld where he was laid.

AND the sabbath being past, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of
James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.

(2)And very early, on the first day of the week, they come to the
sepulchre
