(who had not given his assent to their determination and deed;) being of Arimathea, a city of the Jews: who himself also expected the coming of the kingdom of God.

But when the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, whose name was Joseph, who himself also was a disciple of Jesus:

Joseph, who was from Arimathea, came, a respectable person, a counsellor, and who himself also was expecting the kingdom of God; taking courage, he went in to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

And after these things Joseph of Arimathea, (being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews,) besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus and Pilate permitted him. Then he came and took away the body of Jesus.


Now there were many women on the spot, looking on at a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children. But when the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, whose name was Joseph, who himself also was a disciple of Jesus: read more.
he going in to Pilate, begged for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered the body to be given him. And Joseph receiving the body, wrapped it in clean linen; and laid it in his own new sepulchre, which he had hewn out in a rock: and rolling a vast stone against the door of the sepulchre, departed. And Mary Magdalen, and the other Mary, were there sitting opposite the sepulchre.

NOW after the eve of the sabbath, as the light was dawning, towards the first day of the week, Mary Magdalen had come, and the other Mary, to view the sepulchre. And, lo! there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His aspect was as lightning, and his raiment white as snow. read more.
And for fear of him the guards shook, and became as dead men. Then the angel addressing them, said to the women, Fear not ye; for I know that ye are seeking Jesus who was crucified. He is not here: he is risen, as he said. Come hither, behold the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead: and, lo! he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. And they went out quickly from the sepulchre with fear, and great joy; and ran to carry the tidings to his disciples.

Now there were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women who were with them, that told these things to the apostles.

But Mary stood at the sepulchre, without, weeping: as therefore she wept, she bent forward towards the sepulchre. And saw two angels in white, sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. read more.
And as she thus spoke, she turned about, and beheld Jesus standing by, and knew not that it was Jesus. Then Jesus said to her, Woman, why art thou weeping? whom art thou seeking? She, supposing that it was the gardener, said to him, Sir, if thou hast carried him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith to her, Mary! Starting round, she said to him, Rabboni! that is, Master! Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I have not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and tell them, I am ascending to my Father, and your Father; to my God, and your God. Mary Magdalen cometh declaring to the disciples, that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things to her.


But when the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, whose name was Joseph, who himself also was a disciple of Jesus: he going in to Pilate, begged for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered the body to be given him. And Joseph receiving the body, wrapped it in clean linen; read more.
and laid it in his own new sepulchre, which he had hewn out in a rock: and rolling a vast stone against the door of the sepulchre, departed. And Mary Magdalen, and the other Mary, were there sitting opposite the sepulchre. Now on the morrow, which is the day after the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came in a body to Pilate, saying, Sir, we have reflected, that this deceiver, when yet alive, said, After three days I will rise again. Command therefore that the sepulchre be made perfectly secure until the third day, lest his disciples coming by night, steal him, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead, so the last delusion would be worse than the first. Then said Pilate unto them, Ye have a guard, go and make it as secure as ye think fit. So they went and made the sepulchre secure, putting a seal upon the stone, after placing the guard.

And when the evening was now come (since it was the preparation, that is the day preceding the sabbath), Joseph, who was from Arimathea, came, a respectable person, a counsellor, and who himself also was expecting the kingdom of God; taking courage, he went in to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate marvelled that he should be already dead: and calling for the centurion, he asked him, If he had been dead any time. read more.
And when he knew it from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. And having bought a wrapper of fine linen, and taken him down, he wrapped him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a sepulchre, which was hewn out of a rock; and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre. Now Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.

And lo! a man named Joseph, being a member of the council, a good man, and a just; (who had not given his assent to their determination and deed;) being of Arimathea, a city of the Jews: who himself also expected the coming of the kingdom of God. He went in to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. read more.
And taking it down from the cross, he wrapped it in linen cloth, and laid it in a sepulchre hewn out of a rock, where none had ever yet lain. And that was the preparation-day, and the sabbath's twilight was approaching. Then the women also, his attendants, who had followed him out of Galilee, observed the sepulchre, and how his corpse was laid out. And returning, they made preparation of aromatics and unguents; and they rested the sabbath-day, according to the commandment.

The Jews therefore, as it was the preparation, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, (for that sabbath-day was a great day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, as they saw that he was already dead, they brake not his legs: read more.
but one of the soldiers with his lance pierced his side, and immediately there gushed out blood and water. And he that saw it bore witness, and we know that his testimony is true: and he himself is conscious that he speaketh what is true, that ye might believe. Now these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of him shall not be broken." And again another scripture saith, "They shall look on him whom they have pierced." And after these things Joseph of Arimathea, (being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews,) besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus and Pilate permitted him. Then he came and took away the body of Jesus. And Nicodemus, who had come to Jesus by night formerly, came also, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred weight. Then they took the body, and bound it with swathes together with the aromatics, as the custom is with the Jews to bury. And there was near the spot were he was crucified a garden and in the garden a new tomb, wherein no person had ever yet been laid. Because of the preparation of the Jews therefore, they laid Jesus there; for the sepulchre was just by.
