馬可福音15:42-47

 

15:42 到了晚上，因為這是預備日，就是安息日的前一日，
15:43 有亞利馬太的約瑟前來，他是尊貴的議士，也是等候上帝國的。他放膽進去見彼拉多，求耶穌的身體；
15:44 彼拉多詫異耶穌已經死了，便叫百夫長來，問他耶穌死了久不久。
15:45 既從百夫長得知實情，就把耶穌的屍首賜給約瑟。
15:46 約瑟買了細麻布，把耶穌取下來，用細麻布裹好，安放在磐石中鑿出來的墳墓裡，又滾過一塊石頭來擋住墓門。
15:47 抹大拉的馬利亞和約西的母親馬利亞都看見安放他的地方。

 

⁴² It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, ⁴³ Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. ⁴⁴ Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. ⁴⁵ When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. ⁴⁶ So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. ⁴⁷ Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he was laid.

    主耶穌不僅是死了，還被埋障在墳墓，等待復活！

 

    主耶穌的死亡是暫時的，正如我們的死亡也是暫時的，雖然好像要等很久主耶穌才會再來，可是無論經過多久，與永恆比較起來都是短暫的！

 

    讓我們心存盼望安眠主懷中，一日榮耀之早晨，我們必與主相會！
