The Book of Jesus Chapter Nineteen: The life of Jesus from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John in easy-to-read, chronological format.
Nicodemus came as well, the same one who had first come to Jesus by night and he brought a mixture of Myrrh and aloes weighing
about a hundred pounds. They then took the body of Jesus and wrapped it with the spices in a clean shroud of linen cloths, following
the Jewish burial custom.
Now in the place where he had been crucified there was a garden and in this garden there was a new tomb which had been hewn out
of rock in which no one had yet been buried. Since it was the Jews' Preparation day and the Sabbath was imminent and the tomb was
near at hand, Joseph laid the body of Jesus in his own new tomb. He then rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and
went away.
Meanwhile, the woman who had come from Galilee with Jesus were following behind. Mary of Magdala and the other Mary, the
mother of Joseph were sitting opposite the sepulchre, watched and took note of the tomb where he had been laid and of the position of
the body. They then returned and prepared spices and ointments and rested on the Sabbath day according to the commandment.
Matthew 27:57-61; Mark 15:42-47; Luke 23:50-56; John 19:38-42

NARRATOR.
Now the next day that followed the Day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together and went to Pilate:
CHIEF PRIESTS and PHARISEES.
Your Excellency, we recall that this imposter said while he was still alive; 'After three days, I will rise again.' Therefore, give the
order to have the sepulchre kept secure until the third day, for fear that his disciples should come by night and steal him away and tell
the people, 'He has risen from the dead.' This last piece of fraud would be worse than what went before.
PILATE.
You may have your guard. Go and make it as secure as you can. NARRATOR. So they went and made the sepulchre, sealing the
stone and setting a watch.
Matthew 27:62-66
