and gave up the ghost. 31 The Jews therefore, because it was the prep aration, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was a high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs o f the first, and o f the other which was crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: 34 But one o f the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. 35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true; and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. 3 6 For these things were done, that the Scrip ture should be fulfilled, A bone o f him shall not be broken. 37 And again another Scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. 38 And after this Joseph o f Arimathea, being a disciple o f Jesus, but secretly for fear o f the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body o f Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body o f Jesus. 39 And there came also Nicodemus, (which at the first came to Jesus by night,) and brought a mixture o f myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight. 40 Then took they the body o f Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner o f the Jews is to bury. 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 because o f the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand. T CHAPTER 20. he first day o f the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. 2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved,
and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out o f the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. 3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. 4 So they ran both together: and the other dis ciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepul chre. 5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. 6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, 7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped to gether in a place by itself. 8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and be lieved. 9 For as yet they knew not the Scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. 10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home. 11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, 12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body o f Jesus had lain. 13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weep- est thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. 14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. 16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned her self, and saith unto him, Rabboni: which is to say, Master. 17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. 18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken
