22 They took Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means “The Place of the Skull”. 23 There they tried to give him wine mixed with a drug called myrrh, but Jesus would not drink it.

24. Then they crucified him and divided his clothes among themselves, throwing dice to see who would get which piece of clothing. 25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.

Mark 15:27

27 They also crucified two bandits with Jesus, one on his right and the other on his left.

32 Two other men, both of them criminals, were also led out to be put to death with Jesus.

John 19:17–18

17 He went out, carrying his cross, and came to “The Place of the Skull”, as it is called. (In Hebrew it is called “Golgotha”.) 18 There they crucified him; and they also crucified two other men, one on each side, with Jesus between them.

John 19:23–27

23 After the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier. They also took the robe, which was made of one piece of woven cloth without any seams in it.

24 The soldiers said to one another, “Let’s not tear it; let’s throw dice to see who will get it.” This happened in order to make the scripture come true: “They divided my clothes among themselves and gambled for my robe.” And this is what the soldiers did.

25 Standing close to Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

26 Jesus saw his mother and the disciple he loved standing there; so he said to his mother, “He is your son.”

27 Then he said to the disciple, “She is your mother.” From that time the disciple took her to live in his home.

Jesus’ resurrection › Jesus’ tomb is found empty › Women find the tomb empty

Matt 28:1–7

1 After the Sabbath, as Sunday morning was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

2. there was a violent earthquake; an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled the stone away, and sat on it.

3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.

4 The guards were so afraid that they trembled and became like dead men.

5 The angel spoke to the women. “You must not be afraid,” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

6 He is not here; he has been raised, just as he said. Come here and see the place where he was lying.

7 Go quickly now, and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from death, and now he is going to Galilee ahead of you; there you will see him!’ Remember what I have told you.”

Mark 16:1–8

1 After the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices to go and anoint the body of Jesus. 2 Very early on Sunday morning, at sunrise, they went to the tomb. 3 On the way they said to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” (It was a very large stone.)4 Then they looked up and saw that the stone had already been rolled back. 5 So they entered the tomb, where they saw a young man sitting on the right, wearing a white robe—and they were alarmed. 6“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is not here—he has been raised! Look, here is the place where they put him. 7 Now go and give this message to his disciples, including Peter: ‘He is going to Galilee ahead of you; there you will see him, just as he told you.’ ” 8 So they went out and ran from the tomb, distressed and terrified. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

Luke 24:1–8

1 Very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared.

2 They found the stone rolled away from the entrance to the tomb, 3 so they went in; but they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 They stood there puzzled about this, when suddenly two men in bright shining clothes stood by them.

5 Full of fear, the women bowed down to the ground, as the men said to them, “Why are you looking among the dead for one who is alive.

6 He is not here; he has been raised. Remember what he said to you while he was in Galilee: 7‘The Son of Man must be handed over to sinners, be crucified, and three days later rise to life.’ ”

8 Then the women remembered his words,

John 20:1

1 Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been taken away from the entrance.
