48. and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back;
49. and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things.

53. and having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn out, where no one was yet laid.
