39. And one of the criminals who were hanged there reviled him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself—and us!”
40. But the other answered and rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, because you are undergoing the same condemnation?
41. And we indeed justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for what we have done. But this man has done nothing wrong!”
42. And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom!”
43. And he said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
44. And by this time it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour
45. because the light of the sun failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn apart down the middle.
46. And Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit!” And after he said this, he expired.
47. Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began to praise God, saying, “Certainly this man was righteous!”
48. And all the crowds that had come together for this spectacle, when they saw the things that had happened, returned home beating their breasts.
49. And all his acquaintances, and the women who had followed him from Galilee who saw these things, stood at a distance.
50. And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
51. (this man was not consenting to their plan and deed), from Arimathea, a Judean town, who was looking forward to the kingdom of God.
52. This man approached Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
53. And he took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth and placed him in a tomb cut into the rock where no one had ever been placed.
54. And it was the day of preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
55. And the women who had been accompanying him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was placed.
56. And they returned and prepared fragrant spices and perfumes, and on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
