LUKE 23. 48-And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. 49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed See Lesson 95, p. 260.-Luke xxiii. 45. +He (the centurion) glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.'-Luke xxiii. 47.

LUKE 23. 52-This man went MARK 15. 43-in boldly unto Pilate, JOHN 19.38-that he might take away the body of Jesus. MARK 15. 44-And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. 45 And when he knew it of the centurion, MATT. 27, 58- then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered MARK 15. 45-to Joseph. JOHN 19. 38-He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. 39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.

JOHN 19. 41-Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. 42 There laid they Jesus therefore MATT. 27, 60-in his own new tomb which he had hewn out in the rock, * JOHN 19. 42-because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand: MATT. 27. 60-and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. LUKE 23. 54-And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. 55 And the women also MATT. 27. 61-Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, MARK 15. 47-the mother of Joses, LUKE 23. 55-which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and MATT. 27. 61-sitting over against the sepulchre, LUKE 23. 55-beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. 56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment. The sepulchre sealed, and guard set. MATT. 27. 62-Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, 63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again, 64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. 65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. 66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch. • Joseph's. |
