When it was eventide, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Josephus, who was himself a disciple of Jesus. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate then commanded that it be given over to him. read more.
So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock; and after rolling a great stone against the opening of the tomb, he went away. And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb. The day after??hat is, the day following the Preparation??he chief priests and Pharisees went in a body to Pilate and said: "We recollect, Sir, that when he was living this imposter said, 'I will rise again after three days.' Now therefore give order to have the sepulcher securely guarded until the third day, for fear his disciples may come and steal him away, and then tell the people, 'He is risen from the dead'; and so the last error will be worse than the first." "You can have a guard," said Pilate. "Go your way, make it as secure as you can." So they went and made the sepulcher secure, by sealing the stone in the presence of the guard.

Toward sunset, as it was the preparation (that is the day preceding the Sabbath), there came Joseph of Arimathea, a Councilor, honorable in rank, who was himself also looking for the kingdom of God. He boldly went in to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus. But Pilate wondered whether he were already dead. So he summoned the army captain, and inquired if he had been any time dead; read more.
and when he learned the fact from the army captain he gave the body to Joseph. So Joseph bought him a sheet, and took Jesus down, wound him in the sheet, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock, and then rolled a stone against the opening of the tomb; and Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were watching to see where he was laid.

Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good man and a righteous, he who came from the Jewish town of Arimathea, and who was on the watch for the kingdom of God. He had not concurred in the designs and deed of the council. This man went to Pilate, and begged for the body of Jesus. read more.
Then taking it down, he wrapped it in linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn in the rock, where no man has ever been laid. And it was the day of preparation and the Sabbath was near at hand. Then the women who had accompanied him out of Galilee followed after, and noted the tomb, and how his body was placed. Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes.

It was Preparation Day, so in order to prevent the bodies' hanging on the cross during the Sabbath (for the Sabbath was a great day) the Jews begged Pilate to have the legs broken, and the bodies taken away. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who had been crucified with him. But upon coming to Jesus they saw that he was already dead, and did not break his legs. read more.
One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a lance, and immediately blood and water flowed out. And he who saw it has borne testimony, and his testimony is trustworthy, and he knows that he is telling the truth in order that you may believe. For this happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Not one of his bones shall be broken. And again another Scripture says, They shall look on him whom they have pierced. After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but in secret because of fear of the Jews, asked Pilate for permission to take the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took the body. Nicodemus also (the one who visited Jesus by night, at first) came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing nearly a hundred pounds. So they took the body of Jesus and wound it in linen with the spices, according to the Jewish mode of burial. There was a garden near the place where Jesus had been crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid. Here, because of its being Preparation Day, and as the tomb was near by, they placed Jesus.
