And over it they raised a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day. Cross References John 19:31It was the day of Preparation, and the next day was a High Sabbath.

Deuteronomy 21:22 If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is executed, and you hang his body on a tree, Deuteronomy 21:23 you must not leave the body on the tree overnight, but you must be sure to bury him that day, because anyone who is hung on a tree is under God's curse. You must not defile the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
