Matthew 27:57-61 - Jesus Is Buried

⁵⁷ And at evening there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who was himself also a disciple of Jesus. ⁵⁸ This man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given him. ⁵⁹ And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, ⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock, and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, went away. ⁶¹ And Mary the Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

⁴² And evening having now come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, ⁴³ Joseph of Arimathaea, an honorable councilor, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, came, and boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴ And Pilate wondered that he was already dead; and calling to him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been long dead. ⁴⁵ And having been informed by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. ⁴⁶ And having bought fine linen, he took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a tomb which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the tomb. ⁴⁷ And Mary the Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.

⁵⁰ And lo! a man named Joseph, of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, being a councilor, and a good and righteous man, ⁵¹ who was not consenting to their purpose and deed, and was waiting for the kingdom of God, ⁵² this man went 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 tomb that was hewn out of the rock; wherein no one had yet lain. ⁵⁴ And it was the day of preparation, and the sabbath was now coming on. ⁵⁵ And the women also, who had come with him from Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid. ⁵⁶ And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and on the sabbath they rested, according to the commandment.

³⁸ And after this, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but concealing it for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. They came therefore and took him away. ³⁹ Nicodemus also, he who at the first went to him by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight. ⁴⁰ Then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the manner of the Jews in preparing for burial. 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 Jews preparationday, they laid Jesus; for the tomb was at hand.
