⁷ Then Jesus said, Let her be. Let her keep what she has for the day of my death.

³¹ For he is ever at the right hand of the poor, to take him out of the hands of those who go after his soul.

² And the Lord said to the Satan, May the Lord's word be sharp against you, O Satan, the word of the Lord who has taken Jerusalem for himself: is this not a burning branch pulled out of the fire?

¹⁰ But Jesus, seeing it, said to them, Why are you troubling the woman? she has done a kind act to me.

¹² For in putting this perfume on my body, she did it to make me ready for my last resting-place.

⁵⁷ And in the evening, there came a man of wealth from Arimathaea, Joseph by name, who was a disciple of Jesus:

⁵⁸ This man went in to Pilate, and made a request for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate gave orders for it to be given to him.

⁵⁹ And Joseph took the body, folding it in clean linen,

⁶⁰ And put it in the resting-place which had been cut out of the rock for himself; and after rolling a great stone to the door of it he went away.

⁶ But Jesus said, Let her be; why are you troubling her? she has done a kind act to me.

⁴² And when it was evening, because it was the time of getting ready, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

⁴³ There came Joseph of Arimathaea, a responsible man in high honour, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God; and he went in to Pilate without fear, and made a request for the body of Jesus.

⁴⁴ And Pilate was surprised that he was dead; and, sending for the captain, he put a question to see if he had been dead for long.

⁴⁵ And when he had news of it from the captain, he let Joseph have the body.

⁴⁶ And he got a linen cloth and, taking him down, put the linen cloth round him, and put him in a place for the dead which had been cut out of a rock; and a stone was rolled against the door.

⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was put.

⁵⁰ Now there was a man named Joseph, a man of authority and a good and upright man

³⁸ After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, made a request to Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate said he might do so. So he went and took away his body.

³⁹ And Nicodemus came (he who had first come to Jesus by night) with a roll of myrrh and aloes mixed, about a hundred pounds.

⁴⁰ Then they took the body of Jesus, folding linen about it with the spices, as is the way of the Jews when they put the dead to rest.

⁴¹ Now there was a garden near the cross, and in the garden a new place for the dead in which no man had ever been put.

⁴² So they put Jesus there, because it was the Jews' day of getting ready for the Passover, and the place was near.
