Descent from Cross


Mark 15, 42 - 46

And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus. And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. And he bought fi ne linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

Luke 23, 52 - 53

This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. And hetook it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchrethat was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
