19:31

Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jews did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down.

19:32

The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other.

19:33

But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

19:34

Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.

19:35

The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe.

19:36

These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken,"

19:37

and, as another scripture says, "They will look on the one they have pierced."

Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jews. With Pilate's permission, he came and took the body away.

19:39

He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.

19:40

Taking Jesus' body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.

19:41

At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.

19:42

Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

12:46

"It must be eaten inside one house; take none of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones.

10:18

No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."

15:43

Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God , went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.

15:44

Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died.

19:25

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

19:26

When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Dear woman, here is your son,"

27:57

As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus.

27:58

Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus' body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

23:50

Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man,

23:51

who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea and he was waiting for the kingdom of God .

19:29

As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives , he sent two of his disciples, saying to them,

19:30

"Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.

12:3

Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

12:7

"Leave her alone," Jesus replied. "It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial.

22:1

A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.
