44. Now it was nearly the sixth hour, and a darkness occurred over the entire earth, until the ninth hour.
45. And the sun was obscured. And the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.
46. And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said: "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." And upon saying this, he expired.
47. Now, the centurion, seeing what had happened, glorified God, saying, "Truly, this man was the Just One."
48. And the entire crowd of those who came together to see this spectacle also saw what had happened, and they returned, striking their breasts.
49. Now all those who knew him, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, were standing at a distance, watching these things.
50. And behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a councilman, a good and just man,
51. (for he had not consented to their decision or their actions). He was from Arimathea, a city of Judea. And he was himself also anticipating the kingdom of God.
52. This man approached Pilate and petitioned for the body of Jesus.
53. And taking him down, he wrapped him in a fine linen cloth, and he placed him in a tomb hewn from rock, in which no one had ever been placed.
54. And it was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
55. Now the women who had come with him from Galilee, by following, saw the tomb and the manner in which his body was placed.
56. And upon returning, they prepared aromatic spices and ointments. But on the Sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the commandment.
