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.

There was likewise present a counsellor, named Joseph, a man of probity and justice, one who had never abetted the contrivances and proceedings of the Jews. he was of Arimathea, a city of Judea, and one of those, who were in expectation of the Messiah's reign.

In the evening a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself was Jesus's disciple, went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus; which Pilate ordered to be delivered to him. Joseph then having taken the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, read more.
and laid it in a monument which he had lately caused to be hewn out in the rock: and having rolled a large stone to the door of the sepulchre, he went away. in the mean time Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary were sitting over against the sepulchre. Now the next day after the preparation of the sabbath, the chief priests and Pharisees went together to Pilate, saying, sir, we remember that this impostor, when he was alive, said, "after three days I will rise again." pray therefore order a guard to be posted at the sepulchre till the third day, for fear his disciples should come and steal him away, and then tell the people, "he is risen from the dead:" for this last imposture would be of worse consequence than the first. to whom Pilate replied, you have a guard, go then, and make it as secure as you can. accordingly they went, and having clapt a seal upon the stone, they posted a guard to secure the sepulchre.

Now, as soon as the evening was come; because it was then the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, 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. Pilate surpriz'd that he should be dead so soon, sent for the Centurion, and ask'd him, if he had been dead any time. read more.
and being satisfied of it, he granted the body to Joseph; who taking down the body, wrapped it in a fine linnen cloth, which he had bought, and laid it in a sepulchre, which was hewn out of a rock, and roll'd a stone for a door to the sepulchre: and Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, took notice where he was laid.

There was likewise present a counsellor, named Joseph, a man of probity and justice, one who had never abetted the contrivances and proceedings of the Jews. he was of Arimathea, a city of Judea, and one of those, who were in expectation of the Messiah's reign. this very man went to Pilate, and begg'd the body of Jesus. read more.
and he took it down, and wrapp'd it in linnen, and laid it in a sepulchre, hewn out of a rock, wherein nobody had ever yet been deposited. now that day was the preparation, and the sabbath then drew on. the women therefore, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee, followed Joseph, to the sepulchre, to see how the body was disposed of. then they went home, and provided spices and perfumes: after which they rested the sabbath-day, as the law appointed.

Now for fear the bodies should remain upon the cross on the sabbath-day, for it was then the eve of the pascal-sabbath, a day of high solemnity, the Jews desired Pilate that their legs might be broke, and that they might be taken away. accordingly the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him. then they came to Jesus, and finding that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. read more.
but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately blood and water issued out. he that relates this, was an eye-witness of it, and his relation is true: and he is so assured, what he says is true, that you may rely upon it. for these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, "a bone of him shall not be broken." and again the scripture saith elsewhere, "they shall look on him whom they pierced." 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. Nicodemus, who formerly went to Jesus by night, came likewise and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. they took therefore the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, according to the manner of burial among the Jews. now near the place where he was crucified, there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, in which no body had ever yet been laid. as this sepulchre was nigh at hand, they laid Jesus therein, because the time of the preparation of the Jews was expiring.
