And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. {safe: Heb. set on high}

And, behold, {there was} a man named Joseph, a counsellor; {and he was} a good man, and a just:

Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

These {words} spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess {him}, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

And, behold, {there was} a man named Joseph, a counsellor; {and he was} a good man, and a just:

And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither {was any} deceit in his mouth. {death: Heb. deaths}

When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess {him}, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

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.

This {man} went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

And he bought fine 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.

These {words} spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

And when he knew {it} of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which {was} Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, {are called}:

The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
