Part 40

42:023:049 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

42:023:050 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:

42:023:051 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

42:023:052 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

42:023:053 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

42:023:054 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

42:023:055 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

42:023:056 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

42:024:001 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

42:024:002 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

42:024:003 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

42:024:004 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

42:024:005 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

42:024:006 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

42:024:007 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

42:024:008 And they remembered his words,

42:024:009 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

42:024:010 It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

42:024:011 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

42:024:012 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

42:024:013 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.

42:024:014 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

42:024:015 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

42:024:016 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

42:024:017 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

42:024:018 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

42:024:019 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

42:024:020 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
