THE LAST WEEK OF JESUS' PUBLIC MINISTRY AND HIS CRUCIFIXION

Our Lord’s body remained in the tomb

-On this day, our Lord’s body remained in the tomb.  We simply are not given any other details

 regarding the day - the Sabbath for the Jews. 

-“But who can reflect on the state of the poor disciples, during the whole of the time in which our

 blessed Lord lay under the empire of death, without sharing their sorrows! When he expired on the

 cross their expectation was cut off; and when his body was laid in the grave their hopes were buried;

 and nothing but the resurrection of Christ from the dead could have given a resurrection to their

 hopes. It is true they had heard him say that he would rise again the third day; but in this it is evident

 their faith was very imperfect; and the uncertainty, perplexity, anxiety, and distress which they in

 consequence must have suffered, can neither be described nor imagined” (Clarke).
