In Job 29 and 30 Job remembers the good old days when he was well respected and admired. He addresses and earlier criticism that he was not kind to those in need by expressing that he was well-known for his generosity toward the poor and his justice toward those who had been wronged. His opinion was sought out

Now even the lowest of low mock him. They treat him badly. He lives in pain and agony. Job cries out for mercy. It is somewhat unclear to whom he cries. It could be God, but it could also be to his friends or to those he has helped in the past. It seems possible it is to God since he recounts that he has been faithful to take care of the needy. Either way, Job is crying out for help.

In Luke 23 the priests bring Jesus before Pilate and Herod. Neither could find any guilt in him. Pilate wants to release Jesus but the priests incite the people to demand his crucifixion.

As Jesus is led to the cross he still warns the people about the times to come. Jesus offers forgiveness even in the midst of his anguish. Even the Roman guards recognize his innocence.

After Jesus death the crowds leave. The disciples and the women who followed him remain to watch what is happening. A member of the religious council named Joseph offers his tomb for Jesus body. The women do not have time to prepare his body since the Sabbath is beginning. They get spices and ointments ready for when the Sabbath is over.
