red to many.
6 [27:54]And the centurion and those with him watching Jesus, seeing
the earthquake, and the [other] events which occurred, were greatly
afraid, and said, Certainly, this was a Son of God. [27:55]And there
were many women there, beholding from afar, who had followed Jesus from
Galilee, to wait upon him; [27:56]among whom were Mary the Magdalene,
and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of
Zebedee.
7 [27:57]And when it was evening a rich man came from Arimathea, by the
name of Joseph, who himself also was a disciple of Jesus; [27:58]this
man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate
commanded it to be given him; [27:59]and Joseph took the body, and
wrapped it in clean linen, [27:60] and placed it in a new tomb of his
which he had excavated in a rock, and having rolled a great stone to
the door of the tomb he went away; [27:61]and Mary the Magdalene and
the other Mary were there, sitting opposite to the tomb.
CHAPTER XXVII.
CHRIST AFTER HIS RESURRECTION.
1 [27:62]AND on the next day, which is after the preparation, the chief
priests and Pharisees were assembled together to Pilate, [27:63]and
said, Sir, we remember that this deceiver said when he was yet alive,
After three days I will rise. [27:64]Command, therefore, the tomb to be
made safe till the third day, lest his disciples should come and steal
him, and say to the people, He is raised from the dead, and the last
error be worse than the first. [27:65]Pilate said to them, You have a
guard; go and make it as safe as you can. [27:66]And they went and made
the tomb safe with a guard, having sealed the stone.
2 [28:1]And after the sabbath, when it began to dawn on the first day
of the week, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the
tomb. [28:2]And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of
the Lord descending from heaven came and rolled away the stone and sat
upon it. [28:3]And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing
as white as snow; [28:4]and from fear of him the keepers shook and
became like dead men. [28:5]And the angel answered and said to the
women, Fear not, for I know that you seek Jesus the crucified. [28:6]He
is not here, for he is raised, as he said. Come and see the place where
the Lord lay, [28:7]and go immediately and tell his disciples that he
is raised from the dead; and behold, he will go before you into
Galilee; there shall you see him. Behol
