><>...JESUS THE CHRIST...><>
From Pilate's court, Jesus was taken outside the walls of Jerusalem to the hill of Golgotha, where He was crucified at about 9 a.m. on Friday. Accounts of Jesus' execution are found in Matthew 27:32–56 and parallel narratives.
Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea took Jesus' body and buried it in Joseph's tomb. Pilate sealed the tomb and set a guard over it to make certain the body was not stolen by Jesus' disciples.
Jesus was buried before dark (“the first day,” since the Jews reckoned days from dusk to dusk). His body remained in the tombm for three days. On the morning of the third day the astonished soldiers felt the earth quake and saw an angel roll away the stone sealing the tomb. They fled from the scene. Soon a group of women came to anoint Jesus' body with spices. They found the tomb empty. Running back to the city, they reported the news to Jesus' disciples. Peter and John came to the tomb and found it just as they had said (Matt. 27:57–28:10 and parallels). Jesus had risen from the dead.
And I say AMEN, and AMEN !!!!
