Luke 23:52

Verse 52 of 56. The 23rd of 24 chapters in Luke, in The Gospels.

48All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their chests.

49All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.

50Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man

51(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.

52This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.

53He took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.

54It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.

55The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.

56They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
