[38 ](/kjv/luke/23/38) And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. [39 ](/kjv/luke/23/39) ¶ And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. [40 ](/kjv/luke/23/40) But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? [41 ](/kjv/luke/23/41) And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. [42 ](/kjv/luke/23/42) And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. [43 ](/kjv/luke/23/43) And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. [44 ](/kjv/luke/23/44) And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. [45 ](/kjv/luke/23/45) And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. [46 ](/kjv/luke/23/46) ¶ And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. [47 ](/kjv/luke/23/47) Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. [48 ](/kjv/luke/23/48) And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. [49 ](/kjv/luke/23/49) And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things. [50 ](/kjv/luke/23/50) ¶ And, behold, *there was* a man named Joseph, a counsellor; *and he was* a good man, and a just: [51 ](/kjv/luke/23/51) (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) *he was* of Arimathæa, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. [52 ](/kjv/luke/23/52) This *man* went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. [53 ](/kjv/luke/23/53) And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. [54 ](/kjv/luke/23/54) And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. [55 ](/kjv/luke/23/55) And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. [56 ](/kjv/luke/23/56) And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
