49. But the rest said, “Leave it, let us see if Ěliyahu comes to save Him.”
50. And יהושע cried out again with a loud voice, and gave up His spirit.
51. And see, the veil of the Dwelling Place was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split,
52. and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the set-apart ones who had fallen asleep were raised,
53. and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection, they went into the set-apart city and appeared to many.
54. And when the captain and those with him, who were guarding יהושע, saw the earthquake and all that took place, they feared exceedingly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of Elohim!”
55. And many women who followed יהושע from Galil, attending Him, were there, watching from a distance,
56. among whom were Miryam from Mag̅dala, and Miryam the mother of Ya‛aqoḇ and Yosĕph, and the mother of Zaḇdai’s sons.
57. And when evening came, there came a rich man from Ramathayim, named Yosĕph, who himself had also become a taught one of יהושע.
58. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of יהושע. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given.
59. And having taken the body, Yosĕph wrapped it in clean linen,
60. and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock. And he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and went away.
61. And Miryam from Mag̅dala was there, and the other Miryam, sitting opposite the tomb.
62. On the next day, which was after the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate,
63. saying, “Master, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, ‘After three days I am raised.’
64. “Command, then, that the tomb be safeguarded until the third day, lest His taught ones come by night and steal Him away, and should say to the people, ‘He was raised from the dead.’ And the last deception shall be worse than the first.”
65. So Pilate said to them, “You have a watch, go, safeguard it as you know how.”
66. And they went and safeguarded the tomb, sealing the stone and setting the watch.
