Matthew 27:57-61 - Jesus Is Buried

⁵⁷ And evening having come, there came a rich man, from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was discipled to Jesus, ⁵⁸ he having gone near to Pilate, asked for himself the body of Jesus; then Pilate commanded the body to be given back. ⁵⁹ And having taken the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen, ⁶⁰ and laid it in his new tomb, that he hewed in the rock, and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away; ⁶¹ and there were there Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over-against the sepulchre.

⁴² And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath, ⁴³ Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴ And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead, ⁴⁵ and having known it from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. ⁴⁶ And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre, ⁴⁷ and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid.

⁵⁰ And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man good and righteous, ⁵¹ -- he was not consenting to their counsel and deed -- from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the reign of God, ⁵² he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus, ⁵³ and having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn out, where no one was yet laid. ⁵⁴ And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching, ⁵⁵ and the women also who have come with him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was placed, ⁵⁶ and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.

³⁸ And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea -- being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews -- ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus, ³⁹ and Nicodemus also came -- who came unto Jesus by night at the first -- bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds. ⁴⁰ They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial; ⁴¹ and there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid; ⁴² there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus.
