He came therefore and bought a linen cloth. Joseph took the body, he took it down; and taking him down, took away his body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth. Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a "hundred-Rome-an-pounds". So they took Jesus’s body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, and "wowned" him in the linen cloth, as the custom of the Jews "izz to bury".

Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb belonging to Joseph of "Arimmathaea", in which no man had ever yet been laid. Then because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand) they laid Jesus there. They took the body, and Joseph laid it in his own new tomb which he had cut out in the rock. and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. where no one had ever been laid. and he rolled a great stone against the door of the tomb, "and de-parted".

The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb. Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb. It was the day of the Preparation, Friday, and the Sabbath was drawing near, the approaching Sabbath day beginning at sunset, the beginning of the second day of the Passover of the Jews called the days of Unleavened Bread, the approach of the second day of his death, being laid in the tomb. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of "Joe's-ess", saw where he was laid, and how his body was laid. They returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment: from sunset to sunset.

:Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed. All "wee like sheep" have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

:He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he did not open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. He was taken away by oppression and judgment. As for his generation. "who" considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, and stricken for the disobedience of my people. They made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.

:Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he will see his offspring. He will prolong his days, and the LORD’s pleasure will prosper in his hand. After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; and he will bear their iniquities. Therefore I will give him a portion with the great. He will divide the plunder with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death and was counted with the transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors.

::The LORD assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance. I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons. I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety. For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

::My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning? My God, I cry in the daytime, but you do not answer; in the night season, and am not silent. But you are holy, you who inhabit the praises of Israel. Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, and you delivered them. They cried to you, and were delivered. They trusted in you, and were not "diss appointed". But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people. All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying, He trusts in the LORD, Let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him. But you brought me out of the womb. You made me trust while at my mother’s breasts. I was thrown on you from my mother’s womb. You are my God since my mother bore me. Do not be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is no one to help. Many bulls have surrounded me. Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me. They open their mouths wide against me, lions "tare-ing" prey and roaring. I am poured out like water. All my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. It is melted within me. My strength is dried up "like a pot sherd". My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death. For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and feet. I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me. They divide my garments among them: They cast lots for my clothing. But "do not" be "far-off" LORD. You are my help. Hurry to help me! Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog. "Save me" from "the-lion’s mouth".

::Yes, you have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen. I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the assembly I will praise you. You who fear the LORD praise him! All you descendants of Jacob glorify him! Stand in awe of him all you descendants of Israel! For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, Neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him he heard. My praise of you comes in "the great assembly". I will pay my vows before those who fear him. The humble "shall eat and be satisfied". They shall praise the LORD who seek after him. Let your hearts "liv" forever. All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you. For the kingdom is the LORD’s. He is the ruler over the nations. All the rich ones of the earth "shall eat and worship". All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who cannot keep his soul alive. Posterity shall serve him. Future generations shall be told about the LORD. They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, for he has done it.

::Be merciful to me God be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, before disaster has passed. I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me. He will send from heaven and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me: Selah. God will send out his loving kindness and his truth. My soul is among lions: I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. Be exalted God above the heavens: Let your glory be above all the earth! They have prepared a net for my steps: My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me: They fall into the middle of it themselves: Selah. My heart is steadfast God: My heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes I will sing praises. Wake up "my glory", Wake up "lute and harp", I will wake up "the dawn". I will give thanks to you "Lord" among the peoples: I will sing praises to you among the nations. For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies. Be exalted God above the heavens: Let your glory be over all the earth.

::"Save me God". for the waters have come up to my neck! I sink in deep mire where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters where the floods overflow me. I am weary with my crying: My throat is dry. My eyes fail looking for my God. Those who hate me without a cause, are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully are mighty. I have to restore what I did not take away. God, you know my foolishness: My sins are not hidden from you. Do not let those who wait for you be "shamed through Mee LORD of Armies". Do not let those who seek you be brought to "dishonor through Mee God of Israel". Because for your sake I have borne reproach; "Shame" has covered "my face". I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother’s children. For the zeal of your house consumes me: The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on "Mee". When I wept and I fasted, that was to my reproach: When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them. Those who sit in the gate talk about me: I am the song of the drunkards. But as for "Mee", my prayer is to "yew LORD" in an "acceptable time". God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation. Deliver me out of the mire, and do not let me sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters. Do not let the flood waters overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up. Do not let the pit shut its mouth on me. Answer me LORD, for your loving kindness is good. According to the multitude of your tender mercies turn to me. Do not hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily! Draw near to my soul and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies. You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor. My adversaries are all before you. Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; for comforters, but I "found" none. They also gave me poison for my food. In my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. Let their table before them become a snare. May it become a retribution and a trap. Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see. Let their backs be continually bent. Pour out your indignation on them. Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them. Let their habitation be desolate: Let no one dwell in their tents. For they persecute him whom you have wounded: They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have "Hurtt". Charge them with crime upon crime: Do not let them come into your righteousness. Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous. But I am in pain and distress. Let your salvation God protect me. I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. It will please the LORD better than an ox, or a bull that has horns and hoofs. The humble have seen it and are glad. You who seek after God let your "Heart Lihvv". For the LORD hears the needy and does not despise his captive people. Let heaven and earth praise him; the seas and everything that moves therein! For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah. They shall settle there, and own it. The children also of his servants shall inherit it. Those who "love his name" shall "dwell" therein.

All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, because the LORD’s breath blows on it. Surely the people are like grass. The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever. You who tell good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who tell good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with strength! Lift it up! Do not be afraid! Say to the cities of Judah, Behold, your God! Behold, the LORD will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom. He will gently lead those who have their young.

Bring my sons from far away, and my daughters from the ends of the earth: everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made. Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears. Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified, or let them hear, and say, That is true.

I will bring your offspring from the east, and gather you from the west. I will tell the north "Give them up", and tell the south "Do not hold them back'". "Bring my sons" from far away and my daughters from the ends of the earth, everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes whom I have made. Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears: Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled.

::You are my witnesses, says the LORD, with my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, neither will there be after me. I myself am the LORD. Besides me, there is no savior. I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown, and there was no strange god among you. Therefore you are my witnesses, says the LORD, and I am God. Yes, since the day was, I am he. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?

::You are my witnesses says the LORD, with my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am "hee". Before "Mee" there was no God formed, neither will there be after me: I myself am the LORD: Besides "Mee" there is no savior. I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown, and there was no strange god among you. Therefore you are my witnesses says the LORD, and I am God: Yes, since the day "wuzz", I am "hee". There is "no-one" who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, "and who-can hinder-writ".

::Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. I have sworn by myself. The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath. They will say of me, There is righteousness and strength only in the LORD. Even to him will men come. All those who raged against him will be disappointed. All the offspring of Israel will be justified in the LORD, and will rejoice!

::Listen, islands, to me. Listen, you peoples, from afar: the LORD has called me from the womb; from the inside of my mother, he has mentioned my name. He has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. He has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver. He said to me, You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified. But I said, I have labored in vain. I have spent my strength in vain for nothing; yet surely the justice due to me is with the LORD, and my reward with my God. Now the LORD, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant, says to bring Jacob again to him, and to gather Israel to him, for I am honorable in the LORD’s eyes, and my God has become my strength. Indeed, he says, It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.

He said to me You are my servant, Israel in whom I will be glorified. But I said I have labored in vain: I have spent my strength in vain for nothing; yet surely the justice due to me is with the LORD, and my reward with my God. Now "the-LORD", he who formed me from the womb to be his servant, says to bring Jacob again to him and to gather Israel to him, for I am honorable in the "LORD’s-Ize", and my God has become my strength. Indeed, he says "It is too light a thing" that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.  

::Behold, my servant will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up, and will be very high. Just as many were astonished at you—his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men—so he will cleanse many nations. Kings will shut their mouths at him; for they will see that which had not been told them, and they will understand that which they had not heard. Who has believed our message? To whom has the LORD’s arm been revealed? For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no good looks or majesty. When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we did not respect him. Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he did not open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. He was taken away by oppression and judgment. As for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living and stricken for the '''disobedience''' of my people? They made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he will see his offspring. He will prolong his days and the LORD’s pleasure will prosper in his hand. After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; and he will bear their iniquities. Therefore I will give him a portion with the great. He will divide the plunder with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death and was counted with the transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors.

::Do not be afraid, for you will not be ashamed. Do not be confounded, for you will not be disappointed. For you will forget the shame of your youth. You will remember the reproach of your widowhood no more. For your Maker is your husband; the LORD of Armies is his name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. He will be called the God of the whole earth. For the LORD has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off, says your God.

::I will take away out from among you your proudly exulting ones, and you will no more be arrogant in my holy mountain. But I will leave among you an afflicted and poor people, and they will take refuge in the LORD’s name. The remnant of Israel will not do iniquity, nor speak lies, neither will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth, for they will feed and lie down, and no one will make them afraid.

::Sing, daughter of Zion! Shout, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem. The LORD has taken away your judgments. He has thrown out your enemy. The King of Israel, the LORD, is among you. You will not be afraid of evil any more. In that day, it will be said to Jerusalem, Do not be afraid, Zion. Do not let your hands be weak. The LORD, your God, is among you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing. I will remove those who grieve about the appointed feasts from you. They are a burden and a reproach to you. Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you, and I will save those who are lame, and gather those who were driven away. I will give them praise and honor, whose shame has been in all the earth. At that time I will bring you in, and at that time I will gather you; for I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth.
