Matthew - ch 27 v 41 - 60
- In like manner also the chief priests, with the scribes and ancients, mocking, said:

- And the selfsame thing the thieves also, that were crucified with him, reproached him with.

- And some that stood there and heard, said: This man calleth Elias.
- And immediately one of them running took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar; and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
- And the others said: Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to deliver him.

- Among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
- And when it was evening, there came a certain rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus.
- He went to Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be delivered.
