Matthew 27:57-61 - Jesus Is Buried

⁵⁷ And in the evening, there came a rich man of Arimathea, whose name was Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus, and went to Pilate, ⁵⁸ and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered the body to be delivered to 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 had cut out in the rock; and when he had rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, he went away: ⁶¹ but there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary sitting over against the sepulchre.

⁴² And the evening being now come, (because it was the preparation, ⁴³ or the day before the sabbath,) Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable counsellor, who also was expecting the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴ But Pilate wondered that He was dead already, and therefore calling for the centurion he asked him if He had been dead any time: ⁴⁵ and when he heard it from the centurion, he granted 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 sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock; and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre. ⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.

⁵⁰ And behold there was a man of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, named Joseph, a counsellor, a good man and a just: ⁵¹ (who had not consented to their counsel nor their action; and who was also himself in expectation of the kingdom of God:) ⁵² he came to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus: ⁵³ and he took it down and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre hewn in stone, where no one had ever yet been laid. ⁵⁴ Now that day was the preparation, and the sabbath was coming on: ⁵⁵ wherefore the women, that came with Him from Galilee, followed Joseph, and saw the sepulchre, and how the body was laid: ⁵⁶ but returned and prepared spices and perfumes; and then rested on the sabbath-day, according to the commandment.

³⁸ And after these things Joseph of Arimathea (who was a disciple of Jesus, but a concealed one for fear of the Jews) petitioned Pilate, that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave: he came therefore and took away the body of Jesus. ³⁹ And there came also Nicodemus (who at first came to Jesus by night) and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes about an hundred pound weight. ⁴⁰ So they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. ⁴¹ Now there was a garden in the place where He was crucified; and in the garden a new sepulchre, in which none had ever yet been laid. ⁴² There therefore they laid Jesus, because of the Jews preparation-day; for the sepulchre was near.
