45 Then the sun was
1 darkened, and
a the veil of the temple was torn in
2 two.
‡
46 And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said,
“Father, a ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’ ” b Having said this, He breathed His last.
‡
47 a So when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous Man!”
‡
48 And the whole crowd who came together to that sight, seeing what had been done, beat their breasts and returned.
49 a But all His acquaintances, and the women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb
50 a Now behold,
there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and just man.
‡
51 He had not consented to their decision and deed.
He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews,
a who himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God.
‡
52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 a Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb
that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before.
‡
54 That day was
a the Preparation, and the Sabbath drew near.
‡
55 And the women
a who had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and
b they observed the tomb and how His body was laid.
‡
56 Then they returned and
a prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath
b according to the commandment.
