e, and supplied his wants; and many other women who went up
with him to Jerusalem.

(42)And when the evening was now come (since it was the preparation,
that is the day preceding the sabbath), (43)Joseph, who was from
Arimathea, came, a respectable person, a counsellor, and who himself
also was expecting the kingdom of God; taking courage, he went in to
Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. (44)Then Pilate marvelled that he
should be already dead: and calling for the centurion, he asked him, If
he had been dead any time. (45)And when he knew it from the centurion,
he gave the body to Joseph. (46)And having bought a wrapper of fine
linen, and taken him down, he wrapped him in the linen cloth, and laid
him in a sepulchre, which was hewn out of a rock; and rolled a stone to
the door of the sepulchre. (47)Now Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother
of Joses, saw where he was laid.

AND when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of
James, and Salome, purchased aromatics, that they might come, and
anoint him. (2)And very early on the first day of the week, they come
to the sepulchre, as the sun was rising. (3)And said among themselves,
Who will roll away for us the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
(4)And looking again, they saw that the stone was rolled away, for it
was vastly large. (5)And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young
man sitting at the right hand, clothed in a white robe; and they were
greatly terrified. (6)But he saith unto them, Be not affrighted, ye
seek Jesus the Nazarean, who was crucified; he is risen, he is not
here: behold the place where they laid him. (7)But go, tell his
disciples, and Peter, that he goeth before you into Galilee; there
shall ye see him, as he told you. (8)And they going out hastily, fled
from the sepulchre, for trembling and astonishment had seized them: and
they said not a word to any person, for they were affrighted.

(9)Now being arisen early, on the first day of the week, he appeared
first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. (10)She
going, told it to those who had been with him, as they were wailing and
weeping. (11)And they, when they heard that he was alive, and had been
seen by her, gave no credit to her.

(12)Then after this, he was manifested under another form, to two of
them as they were walking, and going into the country. (13)And they
came back and told the news to the rest; neither did they believe them.
