And he took it down, and folding it in a linen cloth, he put it in a place cut in the rock for a dead body; and no one had ever been put in it.

Now it was the day of making ready and the Sabbath was coming on.

And the women who had come with him from Galilee went after him and saw the place and how his body had been put to rest;

And they went back and got ready spices and perfumes; and on the Sabbath they took their rest, in agreement with the law.
