Matthew 27:57-61 - Jesus Is Buried

⁵⁷ When the evening had come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph; and he also was a disciple of Jesus. ⁵⁸ This man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given. ⁵⁹ And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in clean linen, ⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed. ⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

⁴² And when the evening had come, because it was the preparation, which is the eve of the sabbath, ⁴³ Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable counselor, who was himself looking for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴ But Pilate was astonished that he was already dead; and having called the centurion to him, he inquired of him whether he had been any while dead. ⁴⁵ And having learned the fact from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. ⁴⁶ And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulcher that had been hewed out of a rock: and he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulcher. ⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.

⁵⁰ And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor, a good and a just man; ⁵¹ (he had not given his consent to their counsel and deed;) he was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, and he himself also waited for the kingdom of God: ⁵² this man came to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁵³ And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that had been hewed in rock, in which no one had yet been laid. ⁵⁴ And the day was the preparation, and the sabbath was beginning. ⁵⁵ And the women that had come with him from Galilee followed after and saw the sepulcher, and how his body was laid. ⁵⁶ And they returned, and prepared spices and ointment; and they rested on the sabbath, according to the commandment.

³⁸ And after this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave him permission. He then came and took away the body of Jesus. ³⁹ Then came Nicodemus also, (who, at the first, had come to Jesus by night,) bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. ⁴⁰ Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths, with the spices, according to the Jewish custom of burying. ⁴¹ Now, in the place where he was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. ⁴² There, then, on account of the preparation-day of the Jews, they laid Jesus, for the tomb was near.
