A man named
Joseph was there from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a good man, who
lived the way God wanted. He was waiting for God’s kingdom to come. Joseph was
a member of the Jewish council. But he did not agree when the other Jewish
leaders decided to kill Jesus. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of
Jesus. He took the body down from the cross and wrapped it in cloth. Then he
put it in a tomb that was dug in a wall of rock. This tomb had never been used
before. It was late on Preparation day. When the sun went down, the Sabbath day
would begin.
The women who
had come from Galilee with Jesus followed Joseph. They saw the tomb. Inside
they saw where he put Jesus’ body. Then
they left to prepare some sweet-smelling spices to put on the body.
On the Sabbath day they rested, as commanded in the
Law of Moses.
Luke 23:50-56
Easy to Read Version
What will these women find come Sunday morning?
