Lesson 3245

 (Lesson 3245)(11-21-20) Matthew 27:55-61

    “And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children. When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.”

   Today’s quote relates The Matthew account of how Jesus was taken down from the cross and buried in Joseph’s tomb. Matthew’s account of those events match almost perfectly with the accounts of Mark, Luke, and John.~
