52 The same day had not consented to the counsel and deed of them; a man of Arimathea, a city of the Jews; who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.
53 He went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
54 And he took it down and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher, which was hewed in a stone, wherein never man before was laid.
55 And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drew on.
56 And the women also, who came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulcher, and how his body was laid.
57 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment.
Luke 24
Intro: The women come to the sepulcher -- Jesus talketh to two of his disciples -- He appears to the apostles -- Promises them the Holy Spirit --Ascends up into heaven.
1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came unto the sepulcher, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher, and two angels standing by it in shining garments.
3 And they entered into the sepulcher, and not finding the body of the Lord Jesus, they were much perplexed thereabout;
4 And were affrighted, and bowed down their faces to the earth. But behold the angels said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
