Who also when he was in Galilee, a followed him, and ministred unto him; and many other women which came up with him unto Jerufalem. 42. And now when the Even was come, (because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the fabbath.) 43. Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counseller, whichalso waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus. 44. And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. 4.5. And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. 46. And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a fepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone u to the door of the fepulchre. 47. And Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, beheld where he was laid. A CHAP. XVI. ND when the fabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, ard Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. 2. And very fearly in the morning, the first day of the Week, they came unto the fepulchre at the rifing of the Sun. 3. And they faid among themselves, Who shall roil us away the stone from the door of the fepulchre? 4. (And when they looked, they faw that the stone was rolled away) for it was a* Luk. 8. 2, 3.

And & entring into the fepulchre, they saw a young man fitting on the right fide, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. 6. And he faith unto them, Be not affrighted: ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen, he is not here : behold the place where they laid him. 7. But go your way, tell his Disciples and Peter, that he goeth before you into Galilee: there fhall ye fee him, as hhe faid unto you. 8. And they went out quickly, and fled from the fepulchre; for they trembled, and were amazed: i neither faid they any thing to any man; for they were afraid. 9. Now when Jefus was rifen early the first day of the Week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven Devils. 10. And the went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. II m And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been feen of her, believed not. 12.
