buries Christ's Body
Towards sunset. as it was the
Preparation-that is, the day
Arimathaea came, a. highly respected
member of the Council, who himself
also was living in expectation OF the
Kingdom of God. He summoned up
Courage to 20 in to see PLATE and
beg for the body of Jesus. But Plate
could hardly believe that He was
already dead. He called however, Tor
the Centurion and inquired whether
He had been long dead; and having
ascertained the fact he granted the
body to Joseph He, having bought
sheet of linen, took Him down,
wrapped Him in the sheet and laid
after which he rolled a stone against
the entrance to the tomb. Mary OF
Magdala and Mary the mother of
Joses were looking on to see where
He was put.
The empty Tomb
When the Sabbath was over. Mary
of Magdala. Mary the mother of
James, and Salome, bought spices, IN
order to come and anoint His body.

day of the week, they came to the
tomb; and they were saying to one
another,
who will roll away the stone for
US from the entrance to the tomb ?"
But then, looking up, they saw that
the stone was already rolled back:
for it was of immense size. Upon
entering the tomb, they saw young

he said to them,
do not be terrified. 1t is Jesus
you are looking for-the Nazarene
come back to life: He is not here:
this is the place where they laid Him.
But go and tell His disciples and Peter
that He is going before you into
Galilee: and that there you Will see
Him, as He told you"

the tomb, for they were greatly
agitated and surprised; and they said
not word to any one. for they were
afraid.

first day of the week, and appeared
