²⁹ And ^(A)he hanged the king of Ai on ^[a]a tree until evening; but at sunset Joshua gave the command and they took his body down from ^[b]the tree and threw it at the entrance of the city gate, and erected over it a large heap of stones that stands to this day.

²⁶ So afterward Joshua struck them and put them to death, and he ^(A)hanged them on five ^[a]trees; and they were hung on the ^[b]trees until evening. ²⁷ Then it came about at ^[c]sunset that Joshua gave the command, and ^(B)they took them down from the ^[d]trees and threw them into the cave where they had hidden themselves, and put large stones over the mouth of the cave, to this very day.

Care of the Body of Jesus

³¹ Now then, since it was ^(A)the day of preparation, to prevent ^(B)the bodies from remaining on the cross on the Sabbath (^[a]for that Sabbath was a ^(C)high day), the Jews requested of Pilate that their legs be broken, and the bodies be taken away.
