im shall not be broken. (37)And again another
scripture says: They shall look on him whom they pierced.
(38)And after this, Joseph from Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus,
but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take
away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore,
and took away the body of Jesus. (39)And there came also Nicodemus,
who at the first came to Jesus by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh
and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight. (40)They took therefore the
body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the
custom of the Jews to prepare for burial.
(41)And in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in
the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no one was yet laid. (42)There
they laid Jesus therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews,
because the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

it is yet dark, to the sepulchre, and sees the stone taken away out of
the sepulchre. (2)She runs therefore and comes to Simon Peter, and to

Peter following him; and he went into the sepulchre, and sees the
linen cloths lying, (7)and the napkin that was about his head not

sepulchre, went in also; and he saw, and believed. (9)For not even yet
did they know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
(10)The disciples therefore went away again to their own home. (11)And
Mary was standing by the sepulchre without, weeping. So, as she wept,
she stooped clown into the sepulchre, (12)and beholds two angels in
