They bound Jesus, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate.

33✠From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

34✠At the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

43✠Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent Council member who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God, boldly went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

44✠Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

Then he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.
