Mary of Magdala page 44 by ric gustafson
The soldiers had just laid Jesus down on the ground.
Crying, Jesus's mother knelt down and cradled his head. " My son". Her crying got louder. " My son".
Mary stood next to her. She did not know what to say or do.
Suddenly, a religious leader stood over them. " Pilate has given me permission to take the body". He handed a tablet to the centurion. " It's all in order".
" If Pilate has signed it". He glanced at it. " Go ahead".
They carefully put Jesus on a litter.
Joseph of Arimathea led the quiet group to a rich person's tomb site.
There with the help of Nicodemus, another secret disciple, Jesus's body was prepared for burial.
Jesus was then laid in the middle tomb.
