Now when evening came, a rich man from Arimathaea, called Joseph, who had become a disciple of Jesus, went to Pilate and asked him for the body of Jesus. Pilate then ordered the body to be handed over to him. So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in clean linen, read more.
and put it in his new tomb, which he had cut in the rock; then, after rolling a large boulder to the opening of the tomb, he went away. Mary of Magdala and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb. Next day (that is, on the day after the Preparation) the high priests and Pharisees gathered round Pilate and said, "We remember, sir, that when this impostor was alive he said, 'I will rise after three days.' Now then, give orders for the tomb to be kept secure till the third day, in case his disciples go and steal him and then tell the people, 'He has risen from the dead.' The end of the fraud will then be worse than the beginning of it." Pilate said to them, "Take a guard of soldiers, go and make it as secure as you can." So off they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the boulder and setting the guard.

By this time it was evening, and as it was the day of Preparation (that is, the day before the sabbath) Joseph of Arimathaea, a councillor of good position who himself was on the outlook for the Reign of God, ventured to go to Pilate and ask for the body of Jesus. Pilate was surprised that he was dead already; he summoned the captain and asked if he had been dead some time, read more.
and on ascertaining this from the captain he bestowed the corpse on Joseph. He, after buying a linen sheet, took him down and swathed him in the linen, laying him in a tomb which had been cut out of the rock and rolling a boulder up against the opening of the tomb. Now Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses noted where he was laid.

Now there was a man called Joseph, a member of council but a good and just man who had not voted for their plan of action; he belonged to Arimathaea, a Jewish town, and he was on the outlook for the Reign of God. This Joseph went to Pilate and asked him for the body of Jesus. read more.
He then took it down, wrapped it in linen, and put it in a tomb cut out of the rock, where no one had yet been buried. It was the day of the Preparation and the sabbath was just dawning. So the women who had accompanied him from Galilee and who had followed Joseph, noted the tomb and the position of the body; then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes.

Now, as it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies remaining on the cross during the sabbath (for that sabbath-day was a great day), the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed. So the soldiers went and broke the legs of the first man and of the other man who had been crucified along with him; but when they came to Jesus and saw he was dead already, they did not break his legs; read more.
only, one of the soldiers pricked his side with a lance, and out came blood and water in a moment. He who saw it has borne witness (his witness is true; God knows he is telling the truth), that you may believe. For this took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him will be broken. And another scripture also says, They shall look on him whom they have impaled. After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, a disciple of Jesus but a secret disciple ??for fear of the Jews ??asked Pilate for permission to remove the body of Jesus. And Pilate allowed him. So he went and removed the body, accompanied by Nicodemus (he who had first come to Jesus by night) who brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds of it; they took and wrapped up the body of Jesus in the spices and in bandages, according to the Jewish custom of burial. Now at the spot where he had been crucified there was an orchard, and in the orchard a new tomb where no one had yet been laid; so they put Jesus there, since it was the Jewish day of Preparation, seeing that the tomb was close by.
