EVENTS AFTER THE CRUCIFIXION:






MATTHEW 27: 51-54 & 57- 60

51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split

52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 

53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”

57 As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. 

58 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. 

59 Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth.

60 and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away.

MARK 15: 38-40

38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 

39 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”

40 Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph, and Salome. 

BURIAL OF JESUS

MATTHEW 27:  57- 60

57 As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. 

58 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. 

59 Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 

60 and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away.

MARK 15: 42 - 46

42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, 

43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 

44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 

45 When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 

46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.

NOTE:

JOHN 19: 38-42 ALSO HAS BURIAL OF JESUS!
