Quarta decima Statio – Fourteenth Station

Matthew 27:  57-60      Jesus is claimed and buried by Joseph of Arimathea – a wealthy man and secret disciple

When it was evening, there came a rich man of Arimathea, called Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus.  This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.  Then Pilate ordered it to be handed over.  So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean shroud and put it in his own new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock.  He then rolled a large stone across the entrance of the tomb and went away.

        You just never know
	Who will be the one
	To do the right thing.
	Really.

	They pop up out of nowhere
	They were listening all along
	Nervous, scared, a bit meek, even.

	And then, when things get really heavy,
        They just do it.

        Be like Joseph.
	And then – wait.
      Yn sempel, nevra ny wodhor
      Piw a vydh an huni
      Dhe wul an gwrians ewn,
                        Yn hwir.

      I a lemm yn bann yn-mes
		       A dyller vyth
      I a woslowi oll an termyn.

      Nervus, ownek, nebes klor hogen.

      Hag, ena, pan dheu ha mos
		   Taklow fest poes
      I a’n gwra.

      Bydh kepar ha Josep.
      Hag ena – gorta.
