Matthew 27:57-61 - Jesus Is Buried

⁵⁷ And, when, evening, arrived, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, whose name was Joseph, who also, himself, had been discipled unto Jesus. ⁵⁸ The same, going unto Pilate, claimed the body of Jesus. Then, Pilate commanded it to be given up. ⁵⁹ And Joseph, taking the body, wrapped it up in a clean Indian-cloth, ⁶⁰ and laid it in his new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock, and, rolling near a large stone unto the door of the tomb, departed. ⁶¹ Now there were there, Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

⁴² And evening, already, having begun, since it was a preparation, that is, the eve of a Sabbath, ⁴³ Joseph of Arimathaea, a noble counsellor, who, also himself, was awaiting the kingdom of God, came; and, venturing, went in unto Pilate, and claimed the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴ But, Pilate, wondered whether, already, he was dead; and, calling near the centurion, questioned him - whether he had, already, died. ⁴⁵ And, getting to know from the centurion, he presented the corpse unto Joseph. ⁴⁶ And, buying a fine Indian cloth, he took him down, and wrapped him about with the cloth, and laid him in a tomb, which had been hewn out of a rock, - and rolled near a stone upon the door of the tomb. ⁴⁷ Now, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, were viewing how he had been laid.

⁵⁰ And lo! a man, by name Joseph, being, a councillor, - a good and righteous man ⁵¹ (the same had not consented unto their plan and deed), - from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was awaiting the kingdom of God, ⁵² the same, going unto Pilate, claimed the body of Jesus. ⁵³ And, taking it down, he wrapped it in a fine Indian cloth, and laid him in a tomb hewn in stone, - where no one as yet was lying. ⁵⁴ And it was a day of preparation, and, a Sabbath, was about to dawn. ⁵⁵ And the women, they who had come out of Galilee with him, following after, observed the tomb, and how his body was laid. ⁵⁶ And, returning, they made ready spices and perfumes. And, on the Sabbath, indeed, they were quiet, according to the commandment;

³⁸ But, after these things, Joseph from Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but having kept it secret for fear of the Jews, requested Pilate, that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave permission. He came, therefore, and took away his body. ³⁹ There came, moreover, Nicodemus also, - he that came unto him by night at the first, - bearing a roll of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds' weight. ⁴⁰ So they received the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen-bandages with the spices, - just as it is, a custom, with the Jews to prepare for burial. ⁴¹ Now there was, in the place where he was crucified, a garden; and, in the garden, an unused tomb, wherein, as yet, no one had been laid. ⁴² So, there, by reason of the preparation of the Jews, because, near, was the tomb, laid they Jesus.
