There is no biblical quote on Washington's grave. It merely says:

''Within this Enclosure Rest the remains of Gen.l George Washington."

On his sarcophagus, it merely says "Washington."

It's open to the public. You can see it yourself. I grew up here, wanted to say the record straight. He was not a Bible thumper. He was a pretty humble dude, God bless.

"He humbly identified himself in his will as George Washington, of Mount Vernon, a citizen of the United States."

On Thomas Jefferson's grave stone is carved the following epitaph:

HERE WAS BURIED

THOMAS JEFFERSON

AUTHOR OF THE

DECLARATION

OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE

OF THE

STATUTE OF VIRGINIA

FOR

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

AND FATHER OF THE

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA

BORN APRIL 2, 1743 O.S.

DIED JULY 4. 1826

The O.S. following his date of birth is an abbreviation for "old style" and means that the date is given according to the Julian calendar rather than the Gregorian Calendar. England and the English colonies changed to the Gregorian calendar in 1752. As part of that change, they skipped 11 days in the calendar year so his birth date by the Gregorian calendar was 13 April 1743.

John 11, 25-26 which reads:

I am the resurrection and the life,sayeth the Lord. He that believeth in Me,though he were dead yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die.
