Luke
Chapter 23 (Continued)
23:44-45``Now
it kept on being about noon/'the sixth hour'
and
darkness came over the whole land
until
"three o'clock in the afternoon"/'the ninth hour' . . . 23:45``
because
the sun's light failed.
The
curtain/veil of the {inner sanctuary/Holy of Holies of the} temple
was
torn {schizo} in two . . . down the middle.
{Note: See also Matthew 27:51 - RBT said - schizo is the Greek word for tearing or splitting. The 'temple veil' was an enormously thick curtain that veiled the Holy of Holies. It was HUGE and impossible to tear by hand! It was 60 feet high 30 FEET wide.}
23:46``And
Jesus, shouting out with a loud voice, said,
"Father,
into Your hands I deposit {paratithemi} My spirit!"
{see also Psalm 31:5}
And having said this, He 'breathed His last breath' {ekpneo}.
23:47``Now
the Centurion {hekatontarches},
having
seen/understood {oida} what had happened,
praised
God and said,
"Certainly
this Man {Jesus} kept on being a righteous/innocent Man!"
23:48``And
all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle,
beholding
what had taken place . . .
'beating
their breasts {out of grief}'
kept
on returning home.
23:49``And
all 'those who knew Him {Jesus}'/
'His
acquaintances' {gnostos}
had
taken a stand at a distance . . .
also,
the women who had followed Him from Galilee
'had
a panoramic view of'/'stared long and hard at' {horao}
these
things.
23:50``And,
behold {pay attention} . . .
a
'noble man' {aner} named Joseph
being
a member of the {Sanhedrin} council . . .
came
forth {huparcho} . . .
an
'intrinsically good' {agathos}
and
righteous/just {dikaios} noble man.
23:51``This
one {Joseph}
absolutely
had not consented {sugkatatithemai}
to
their plan/purpose {boule} and 'wicked deed' {praxis}.
He
was from the Jewish town of Arimathea
and
kept on expectantly looked forward to' {prosdechomai}
the
kingdom of God.
23:52``This
same one {Joseph}, going forth to Pilate,
requested
the body of Jesus.
23:53``And,
having taken it {Jesus' body} down,
he
wrapped it in a 'clean linen cloth/shroud' {sindon},
and
placed it {Jesus' body}
in
a tomb/sepulcher {mnema} cut into the rock . . .
where
absolutely not one had yet been buried
{double negative: literally 'absolutely not none' - very strong
negative}.
23:54``And
that day kept on being
the
day of preparation
and
the Sabbath was 'coming on'/beginning {epiphosko}.
23:55``Now
the women . . .
who
had also come with Him {Jesus} from Galilee
'accompanying
along behind in the past with the result that
they
always will follow along with Him' {sunerchomai - perfect tense}
kept
on following after {Joseph} {katakoloutheo}
'learned
by looking'/perceived {theaomai} the tomb . . .
and
the manner in which the body was being laid.
23:56``Having
returned,
they
prepared 'aromatic oils' {aroma}
and
perfumes/ointments {muron}
{used on the body of honored dead}.
And,
during the Sabbath,
they
rested/'ceased from work'
according
to the commandment.
{Note: According to the Gentile calendar, Jesus went to the cross on Wednesday afternoon. By 6 pm He was dead and, according to Jewish tradition, His body needed to be buried before the Passover Sabbath began at sunset. So, Jesus' body was in the grave three 'days' - Wednesday night to Saturday night - rising sometime after sundown on Saturday night. According to the Jewish Calendar, Jesus died on Wednesday because Thursday begins at sundown on what Gentiles think of as Wednesday night. So, Jesus was in the grave, all Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (which ends on Gentile's Saturday at sundown). So Jesus rose from the grave on the Jewish Sunday and the Gentile Sunday - so probably after midnight on Gentile's Sunday morning.}
