Luke 23:50-56

They bury Jesus

About the next group of questions

They crucified Jesus between two criminals. But his friends buried him properly.

Pray

Ask God to help you to understand what it costs to be a follower of Jesus.

Read: Luke 23:50-56

23:50 What was the name of the member of the Jewish council who had not agreed to the death of Jesus? What kind of a man was Joseph?

23:51 From what town did Joseph come? What was he waiting for?

23:52 What did he ask Pilate for?

23:53 What did Joseph do with the body of Jesus? What was special about the grave that he laid Jesus in?

23:54 On what day did Jesus die?

23:55 Why did the women follow Joseph?

23:56 What did the women prepare? Why did the women rest on the Sabbath rather than go immediately to the grave?

Final remarks

It took courage for Joseph to ask for the body of Jesus from Pilate. He wanted to bury Jesus in the proper way. We should not be ashamed to serve Jesus because this brings honour to him.

Pray

Lord, give me the courage to be your follower, even when it leads me into danger. Amen.
