Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
Matthew 27:33-40 “33 And having come to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a skull,34 they gave to him to drink vinegar mingled with gall; and having tasted [it], he would not drink.35 And having crucified him, they parted his clothes amongst [themselves], casting lots.
36 And sitting down, they kept guard over him there.37 And they set up over his head his accusation written: This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.38 Then are crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.
39 But the passers-by reviled him, shaking their heads40 and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou art Son of God, descend from the cross.”
Matthew 27:57-61 “57 Now when even was come there came a rich man of Arimathaea, his name Joseph, who also himself was a disciple to Jesus.58 *He*, going to Pilate, begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
59 And Joseph having got the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,60 and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn in the rock; and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, went away.61 But Mary of Magdala was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the sepulchre.”
Matthew 28:2-7 “2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of [the] Lord, descending out of heaven, came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.3 And his look was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow.4 And for fear of him the guards trembled and became as dead men.
5 And the angel answering said to the women, Fear not *ye*, for I know that ye seek Jesus the crucified one.6 He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.7 And go quickly and say to his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goes before you into Galilee, there shall ye see him. Behold, I have told you.”
Romans 10:10 “For with [the] heart is believed to righteousness; and with [the] mouth confession made to salvation.”
