Joshua
3, 4
Jos
3:1 Joshua rose up early in the morning; and they moved from
Shittim, and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel.
They lodged there before they passed over.
Jos
3:2 It happened after three days, that the officers went through the
midst of the camp;
Jos
3:3 and they commanded the people, saying, "When you see the
ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and the priests the Levites
bearing it, then you shall move from your place, and follow it.
Jos
3:4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two
thousand cubits by measure. Don't come near to it, that you may know
the way by which you must go; for you have not passed this way
before."
Jos
3:5 Joshua said to the people, "Sanctify yourselves; for
tomorrow Yahweh will do wonders among you."
Jos
3:6 Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, "Take up the ark of
the covenant, and pass over before the people." They took up the
ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
Jos
3:7 Yahweh said to Joshua, "Today I will begin to magnify you
in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that as I was with
Moses, so I will be with you.
Jos
3:8 You shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant,
saying, 'When you come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, you
shall stand still in the Jordan.' "
Jos
3:9 Joshua said to the children of Israel, "Come here, and hear
the words of Yahweh your God."
Jos
3:10 Joshua said, "Hereby you shall know that the living God is
among you, and that he will without fail drive the Canaanite, and the
Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and
the Amorite, and the Jebusite out from before you.
Jos
3:11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth
passes over before you into the Jordan.
Jos
3:12 Now therefore take twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, for
every tribe a man.
Jos
3:13 It shall come to pass, when the soles of the feet of the
priests who bear the ark of Yahweh, the Lord of all the earth, rest
in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan will be
cut off, even the waters that come down from above; and they shall
stand in one heap."
Jos
3:14 It happened, when the people moved from their tents to pass
over the Jordan, the priests who bore the ark of the covenant being
before the people,
Jos
3:15 and when those who bore the ark had come to the Jordan, and the
feet of the priests who bore the ark had dipped in the edge of the
water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the time of
harvest),
Jos
3:16 that the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up
in one heap, a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside
Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even
the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off. Then the people passed over right
against Jericho.
Jos
3:17 The priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh stood
firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan; and all Israel passed
over on dry ground, until all the nation had passed completely over
the Jordan.
Jos
4:1 It happened, when all the nation had completely passed over the
Jordan, that Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying,
Jos
4:2 "Take twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a
man,
Jos
4:3 and command them, saying, 'Take from out of the middle of the
Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve
stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the
lodging place, where you will lodge tonight.' "
Jos
4:4 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the
children of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
Jos
4:5 Joshua said to them, "Pass over before the ark of Yahweh
your God into the middle of the Jordan, and each of you pick up a
stone and put it on your shoulder, according to the number of the
tribes of the children of Israel;
Jos
4:6 that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask
in time to come, saying, 'What do you mean by these stones?'
Jos
4:7 then you shall tell them, 'Because the waters of the Jordan were
cut off before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh. When it passed over
the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones shall
be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.' "
Jos
4:8 The children of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up
twelve stones out of the middle of the Jordan, as Yahweh spoke to
Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of
Israel; and they carried them over with them to the place where they
lodged, and laid them down there.
Jos
4:9 Joshua set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan, in the
place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant
stood; and they are there to this day.
Jos
4:10 For the priests who bore the ark stood in the middle of the
Jordan, until everything was finished that Yahweh commanded Joshua to
speak to the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua;
and the people hurried and passed over.
Jos
4:11 It happened, when all the people had completely passed over,
that the ark of Yahweh passed over, with the priests, in the presence
of the people.
Jos
4:12 The children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the
half-tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of
Israel, as Moses spoke to them.
Jos
4:13 About forty thousand men, ready and armed for war passed over
before Yahweh to battle, to the plains of Jericho.
Jos
4:14 On that day, Yahweh magnified Joshua in the sight of all
Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of
his life.
Jos
4:15 Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying,
Jos
4:16 "Command the priests who bear the ark of the testimony,
that they come up out of the Jordan."
Jos
4:17 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, "Come up
out of the Jordan!"
Jos
4:18 It happened, when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant
of Yahweh had come up out of the middle of the Jordan, and the soles
of the priests' feet were lifted up to the dry ground, that the
waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went over all its
banks, as before.
Jos
4:19 The people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the
first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the east border of Jericho.
Jos
4:20 Joshua set up those twelve stones, which they took out of the
Jordan, in Gilgal.
Jos
4:21 He spoke to the children of Israel, saying, "When your
children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, 'What do these
stones mean?'
Jos
4:22 Then you shall let your children know, saying, 'Israel came
over this Jordan on dry land.
Jos
4:23 For Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from
before you, until you had passed over, as Yahweh your God did to the
Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over;
Jos
4:24 that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of Yahweh,
that it is mighty; that you may fear Yahweh your God forever.' "

Joshua
5, 6
Jos
5:1 It happened, when all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond
the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by
the sea, heard how that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan
from before the children of Israel, until we had passed over, that
their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more,
because of the children of Israel.
Jos
5:2 At that time, Yahweh said to Joshua, "Make flint knives,
and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time."
Jos
5:3 Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the children
of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
Jos
5:4 This is the reason Joshua circumcised: all the people who came
out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the
wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
Jos
5:5 For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the
people who were born in the wilderness by the way as they came out of
Egypt had not been circumcised.
Jos
5:6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness,
until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were
consumed, because they didn't listen to the voice of Yahweh. Yahweh
swore to them that he wouldn't let them see the land which Yahweh
swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with
milk and honey.
Jos
5:7 Their children, whom he raised up in their place, were
circumcised by Joshua; for they were uncircumcised, because they had
not circumcised them on the way.
Jos
5:8 It happened, when they were done circumcising all the nation,
that they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.
Jos
5:9 Yahweh said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the
reproach of Egypt from off you." Therefore the name of that
place was called Gilgal, to this day.
Jos
5:10 The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. They kept the
Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains
of Jericho.
Jos
5:11 They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of
the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day.
Jos
5:12 The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the
produce of the land. The children of Israel didn't have manna any
more; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
Jos
5:13 It happened, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his
eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood in front of him with his
sword drawn in his hand. Joshua went to him, and said to him, "Are
you for us, or for our adversaries?"
Jos
5:14 He said, "No; but I have come now as commander of Yahweh's
army." Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and
said to him, "What does my lord say to his servant?"
Jos
5:15 The prince of Yahweh's army said to Joshua, "Take your
shoes off of your feet; for the place on which you stand is holy."
Joshua did so.
Jos
6:1 Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of
Israel. No one went out, and no one came in.
Jos
6:2 Yahweh said to Joshua, "Behold, I have given Jericho into
your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor.
Jos
6:3 All your men of war shall march around the city, going around
the city once. You shall do this six days.
Jos
6:4 Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before
the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven
times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
Jos
6:5 It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram's
horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people
shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall
down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him."
Jos
6:6 Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them,
"Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear
seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of Yahweh."
Jos
6:7 They said to the people, "Advance! March around the city,
and let the armed men pass on before Yahweh's ark."
Jos
6:8 It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven
priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before Yahweh
advanced, and blew the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of
Yahweh followed them.
Jos
6:9 The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and
the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went.
Jos
6:10 Joshua commanded the people, saying, "You shall not shout,
nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of
your mouth, until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout."
Jos
6:11 So he caused the ark of Yahweh to go around the city, going
about it once. Then they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Jos
6:12 Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the
ark of Yahweh.
Jos
6:13 The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns
before the ark of Yahweh went on continually, and blew the trumpets:
and the armed men went before them. The rear guard came after the ark
of Yahweh. The trumpets sounded as they went.
Jos
6:14 The second day they marched around the city once, and returned
into the camp. They did this six days.
Jos
6:15 It happened on the seventh day, that they rose early at the
dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven
times. Only on this day they marched around the city seven times.
Jos
6:16 It happened at the seventh time, when the priests blew the
trumpets, Joshua said to the people, "Shout, for Yahweh has
given you the city!
Jos
6:17 The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to
Yahweh. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are
with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Jos
6:18 But as for you, only keep yourselves from the devoted thing,
lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so
would you make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.
Jos
6:19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron,
are holy to Yahweh. They shall come into Yahweh's treasury."
Jos
6:20 So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets. It
happened, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the
people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so
that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him,
and they took the city.
Jos
6:21 They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and
woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the
edge of the sword.
Jos
6:22 Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, "Go
into the prostitute's house, and bring out from there the woman and
all that she has, as you swore to her."
Jos
6:23 The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab
with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They
also brought out all her relatives, and they set them outside of the
camp of Israel.
Jos
6:24 They burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only
they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron
into the treasury of Yahweh's house.
Jos
6:25 But Rahab the prostitute, her father's household, and all that
she had, Joshua saved alive. She lived in the midst of Israel to this
day, because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out
Jericho.
Jos
6:26 Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying,
"Cursed be the man before Yahweh, who rises up and builds this
city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn shall he lay its
foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up its
gates."
Jos
6:27 So Yahweh was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.

Luke 22
Luk
22:1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the
Passover, drew near.
Luk
22:2 The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him
to death, for they feared the people.
Luk
22:3 Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, who was
numbered with the twelve.
Luk
22:4 He went away, and talked with the chief priests and captains
about how he might deliver him to them.
Luk
22:5 They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
Luk
22:6 He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them
in the absence of the multitude.
Luk
22:7 The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be
sacrificed.
Luk
22:8 He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the
Passover for us, that we may eat."
Luk
22:9 They said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare?"
Luk
22:10 He said to them, "Behold, when you have entered into the
city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him
into the house which he enters.
Luk
22:11 Tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where
is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"
'
Luk
22:12 He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make
preparations there."
Luk
22:13 They went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared
the Passover.
Luk
22:14 When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.
Luk
22:15 He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this
Passover with you before I suffer,
Luk
22:16 for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until
it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God."
Luk
22:17 He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said,
"Take this, and share it among yourselves,
Luk
22:18 for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit
of the vine, until the Kingdom of God comes."
Luk
22:19 He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and
gave to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you.
Do this in memory of me."
Luk
22:20 Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup
is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
Luk
22:21 But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the
table.
Luk
22:22 The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe
to that man through whom he is betrayed!"
Luk
22:23 They began to question among themselves, which of them it was
who would do this thing.
Luk
22:24 There arose also a contention among them, which of them was
considered to be greatest.
Luk
22:25 He said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over
them, and those who have authority over them are called
'benefactors.'
Luk
22:26 But not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let
him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who
serves.
Luk
22:27 For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who
serves? Isn't it he who sits at the table? But I am in the midst of
you as one who serves.
Luk
22:28 But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
Luk
22:29 I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,
Luk
22:30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will
sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
Luk
22:31 The Lord said, "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have
you, that he might sift you as wheat,
Luk
22:32 but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn't fail. You, when
once you have turned again, establish your brothers."
Luk
22:33 He said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to
prison and to death!"
Luk
22:34 He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means
crow today until you deny that you know me three times."
Luk
22:35 He said to them, "When I sent you out without purse, and
wallet, and shoes, did you lack anything?" They said, "Nothing."
Luk
22:36 Then he said to them, "But now, whoever has a purse, let
him take it, and likewise a wallet. Whoever has none, let him sell
his cloak, and buy a sword.
Luk
22:37 For I tell you that this which is written must still be
fulfilled in me: 'He was counted with the lawless.' For that which
concerns me has an end."
Luk
22:38 They said, "Lord, behold, here are two swords." He
said to them, "That is enough."
Luk
22:39 He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of
Olives. His disciples also followed him.
Luk
22:40 When he was at the place, he said to them, "Pray that you
don't enter into temptation."
Luk
22:41 He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt
down and prayed,
Luk
22:42 saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from
me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."
Luk
22:43 An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
Luk
22:44 Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like
great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
Luk
22:45 When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and
found them sleeping because of grief,
Luk
22:46 and said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that
you may not enter into temptation."
Luk
22:47 While he was still speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who
was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near
to Jesus to kiss him.
Luk
22:48 But Jesus said to him, "Judas, do you betray the Son of
Man with a kiss?"
Luk
22:49 When those who were around him saw what was about to happen,
they said to him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"
Luk
22:50 A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest,
and cut off his right ear.
Luk
22:51 But Jesus answered, "Let me at least do this" -and
he touched his ear, and healed him.
Luk
22:52 Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and
elders, who had come against him, "Have you come out as against
a robber, with swords and clubs?
Luk
22:53 When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn't stretch
out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of
darkness."
Luk
22:54 They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the
high priest's house. But Peter followed from a distance.
Luk
22:55 When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard,
and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.
Luk
22:56 A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and
looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with him."
Luk
22:57 He denied Jesus, saying, "Woman, I don't know him."
Luk
22:58 After a little while someone else saw him, and said, "You
also are one of them!" But Peter answered, "Man, I am not!"
Luk
22:59 After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed,
saying, "Truly this man also was with him, for he is a
Galilean!"
Luk
22:60 But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you are talking
about!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster
crowed.
Luk
22:61 The Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered
the Lord's word, how he said to him, "Before the rooster crows
you will deny me three times."
Luk
22:62 He went out, and wept bitterly.
Luk
22:63 The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.
Luk
22:64 Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked
him, "Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?"
Luk
22:65 They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.
Luk
22:66 As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the
people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and
they led him away into their council, saying,
Luk
22:67 "If you are the Christ, tell us." But he said to
them, "If I tell you, you won't believe,
Luk
22:68 and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.
Luk
22:69 From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand
of the power of God."
Luk
22:70 They all said, "Are you then the Son of God?" He
said to them, "You say it, because I am."
Luk
22:71 They said, "Why do we need any more witness? For we
ourselves have heard from his own mouth!"
May 12
Luke 23
Luk
23:1 The whole company of them rose up and brought him before
Pilate.
Luk
23:2 They began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man
perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying
that he himself is Christ, a king."
Luk
23:3 Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He
answered him, "So you say."
Luk
23:4 Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, "I
find no basis for a charge against this man."
Luk
23:5 But they insisted, saying, "He stirs up the people,
teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this
place."
Luk
23:6 But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man
was a Galilean.
Luk
23:7 When he found out that he was in Herod's jurisdiction, he sent
him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.
Luk
23:8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had
wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things
about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.
Luk
23:9 He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
Luk
23:10 The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing
him.
Luk
23:11 Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him.
Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
Luk
23:12 Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day,
for before that they were enemies with each other.
Luk
23:13 Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and
the people,
Luk
23:14 and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one that
perverts the people, and see, I have examined him before you, and
found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things
of which you accuse him.
Luk
23:15 Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing
worthy of death has been done by him.
Luk
23:16 I will therefore chastise him and release him."
Luk
23:17 Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.
Luk
23:18 But they all cried out together, saying, "Away with this
man! Release to us Barabbas!"-
Luk
23:19 one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the
city, and for murder.
Luk
23:20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,
Luk
23:21 but they shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify him!"
Luk
23:22 He said to them the third time, "Why? What evil has this
man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore
chastise him and release him."
Luk
23:23 But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be
crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests
prevailed.
Luk
23:24 Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
Luk
23:25 He released him who had been thrown into prison for
insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus
up to their will.
Luk
23:26 When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene,
coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it after
Jesus.
Luk
23:27 A great multitude of the people followed him, including women
who also mourned and lamented him.
Luk
23:28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, "Daughters of
Jerusalem, don't weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your
children.
Luk
23:29 For behold, the days are coming in which they will say,
'Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts
that never nursed.'
Luk
23:30 Then they will begin to tell the mountains, 'Fall on us!' and
tell the hills, 'Cover us.'
Luk
23:31 For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be
done in the dry?"
Luk
23:32 There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put
to death.
Luk
23:33 When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they
crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the
other on the left.
Luk
23:34 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know
what they are doing." Dividing his garments among them, they
cast lots.
Luk
23:35 The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed
at him, saying, "He saved others. Let him save himself, if this
is the Christ of God, his chosen one!"
Luk

vinegar,
Luk
23:37 and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save
yourself!"

Latin, and Hebrew: "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."
Luk
23:39 One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, "If
you are the Christ, save yourself and us!"
Luk
23:40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Don't you
even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
Luk
23:41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our
deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong."
Luk
23:42 He said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when you come into
your Kingdom."

23:44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the
whole land until the ninth hour.

last.
Luk
23:47 When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God,

saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts.
Luk
23:49 All his acquaintances, and the women who followed with him
from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
Luk
23:50 Behold, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a
good and righteous man
Luk
23:51 (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from
Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for the Kingdom
of God:
Luk
23:52 this man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus' body.
Luk
23:53 He 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.
Luk
23:54 It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing
near.
Luk
23:55 The women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed
after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.
Luk
23:56 They returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the
Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
