Verse of the Day
Sunday, April 19, 2026
After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus' body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body. Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds. So they took Jesus' body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
John 19:38-40
A dying woman asked her friends to weave her casket. They came anyway. Scripture remembers who shows up when the body needs carrying.
