Tune: Horsley
('There is a green hill')
Matthew 27 v.57-66 and 28 v.11-15 parts
*********
Joseph of Arimathea
With Pilate did confer
That Friday evening when Jesus
Had died, gave life for us
He asked that he might Him bury
Pilate said, 'To it see'
He in clean cloth wrapped the body
Laid in tomb securely
He rolled a great stone to the door
Of the rock-tomb, it sure
Was made by soldiers, they sealed stone
And set a guard, was known
Later when Jesus risen, they
Were given bribes to say
His disciples came here by night
Stole Him then from our sight
For we did sleep, did not them see
Some Jews today, so be
Believe that this was true the way
Things happened on that day

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. A Saturday scene (Jewish Sabbath day), and also the Passover festival for that year. Jesus is seen to be risen on 'the first day of the week' (Sunday).

It's a bit tricky with the days, as really the Jewish day runs from sunset to sunset.
Wow!
Thanks K. I don't copy scriptures verbatim, but base many of my poems on them.
A bit early this year?
Passover is the next full moon,
If my information is correct??
Thanks 2. I think Easter depends on the date of a certain full moon, called the Paschal Moon. Passover somewhere near that, but I'm not sure. I read Easter can be earliest March 22 to latest April 25.
He was crucified before passover.
This year thec22nd? Of April- full moon.
