That evening a rich man who followed the Lord
requested to care for the corpse.
An order was made and the body restored
to those who would see to the work.
A wrapping of linen was speedily made.
A new tomb was not far away.
A stone then was rolled to the place he was laid.
and that was enough for the day.
———-
Some women had watched so some priests became sure
nefarious plots were afoot.
Obtaining permission to make things secure
They went with a guard to the tomb.
By sealing the stone they assumed it was done;
preventing the thing that they feared.
When another day passed they and all were aghast;
the one they had killed reappeared.
