e ninth hour. (45)And the sun was darkened; and the vail
of the temple was rent in the midst. (46)And Jesus, crying with a loud
voice, said: Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having
said this, he expired.

(47)And the centurion, seeing what was done, glorified God, saying:
Verily, this man was righteous! (48)And all the multitudes who had
come together to that sight, having beheld the things that were done,
returned, beating their breasts. (49)And all his acquaintance were
standing afar off, and women who had followed him from Galilee,
beholding these things.

(50)And, behold, a man named Joseph, a counselor, a good and just man,
(51)(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea

faces to the earth, they said to them: Why seek ye the living among
the dead? (6)He is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spoke to
you when he was yet in Galilee, (7)saying: The Son of man must be
delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the
third day rise again. (8)And they remembered his words.

(9)And returning from the sepulchre, they reported all these things to
the eleven, and to all the rest. (10)And it was Mary the Magdalene,
and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women with
