In the evening a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself was Jesus's disciple,

one Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable senator, who was himself in expectation of the kingdom of God, ventur'd to come and wait upon Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

he was of Arimathea, a city of Judea, and one of those, who were in expectation of the Messiah's reign.

after this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but for fear of the Jews a conceal'd one, pray'd Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave: so he went and took the body of Jesus.
