Matthew 27:57-61 - Jesus Is Buried

⁵⁷ And it being evening, a rich man came from Arimathea, whose name was Joseph, who himself also was a disciple to Jesus. ⁵⁸ He having come to Pilate, begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be given: ⁵⁹ and Joseph having received the body, wrapped it in clean linen, ⁶⁰ and placed it in a new sepulcher, which he hewed in the rock: and having rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher, departed. ⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting in front of the tomb.

⁴² And it already being evening, since it was the Preparation, which is the day before the Sabbath, ⁴³ Joseph, who is from Arimathea, an honorable councilor, who also himself was waiting for the kingdom of God; having taken courage came to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴ And Pilate was astonished if He had died already. And having called the centurion, asked him if He was already dead. ⁴⁵ And having learned from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. ⁴⁶ And having purchased linen, and taking Him down, he wrapped Him in the linen, and placed Him in a sepulcher which had been hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulcher. ⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were looking where He is placed.

⁵⁰ And behold, there was a man by name Joseph, being a councilor, a good and righteous man, ⁵¹ (for he was not consenting unto their counsel and deed), from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God. ⁵² He having come to Pilate, begged the body of Jesus. ⁵³ And having taken it down, he wrapped it in linen, and placed it in a hewn sepulcher, where no one ever was laid. ⁵⁴ And it was Preparation day, and the Sabbath was drawing nigh. ⁵⁵ And the women, who had come along with him out of Galilee, having followed down, saw the sepulcher, and where His body was placed. ⁵⁶ And having returned, they prepared aromatics and myrrh: and they kept the Sabbath according to the commandment.

³⁸ After these things, Joseph from Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but having been hidden on account of the fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus. And Pilate permitted. Then he came and took the body of Jesus. ³⁹ And Nicodemus also, the one having come at first to Jesus by night, came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. ⁴⁰ Then they received the body of Jesus, and wrapped it in linens with aromatics, as is the custom to the Jews to embalm. ⁴¹ And there was in the place where He was crucified, a garden; and in the garden a new sepulcher, in which no one was ever yet placed. ⁴² Then on account of the Preparation of the Jews (because the sepulcher was near), they placed Jesus there.
