When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea named Joseph, which same also was Jesus' disciple. He went to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, read more.
and put it in his new tomb, which he had hewn out even in the rock, and rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre and departed. And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. The next day that followeth the day of preparing, the high priests and Pharisees got themselves to Pilate, and said, "Sir, we remember that this deceiver said while he was yet alive, after three days I will arise again. Command, therefore, that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest peradventure his disciples come, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from death: And then the last error shall be worse than the first was." Pilate said unto them, "Take watchmen: Go and make it as sure as ye can." And they went and made the sepulchre sure with watchmen, and sealed the stone.

And now when night was come, because it was the even that goeth before the Sabbath, Joseph of Arimathaea, a noble councilor which also looked for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. And Pilate marveled that he was already dead, and called unto him the centurion, and asked of him whether he had been any while dead. read more.
And when he knew the truth of the under-captain, he gave the body to Joseph. And he bought a linen cloth, and took him down and wrapped him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb, that was hewn out of the rock. And rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre. And Mary Magdalene and Mary Joseph beheld where he was laid.

And behold, there was a man named Joseph, a councilor: and was a good man and a just; and did not consent to the counsel and deed of them; which was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews. Which same also, waited for the kingdom of God. He went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. read more.
And took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid it in a hewn tomb, wherein was never man before laid. And that day was the Sabbath even; And the Sabbath drew on. The women that followed after, which came with him from Galilee, beheld the sepulchre and how his body was laid. And they returned, and prepared odours, and ointments; but rested the Sabbath day, according to the commandment.

The Jews then, because it was the Sabbath even that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day - For that Sabbath day was a high day - besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken down. Then came the soldiers and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with Jesus. But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: read more.
but one of the soldiers with a spear, thrust him into the side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true. And he knoweth that he saith true that ye might believe also. These things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled, 'Ye shall not break a bone of him.' And again another scripture saith, 'They shall look on him, whom they pierced.' After that, Joseph of Arimathaea, which was a disciple of Jesus - but secretly for fear of the Jews - besought Pilate that he might take down the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave him license. And there came also Nicodemus which at the beginning came to Jesus by night, and brought of myrrh and aloes mingled together about a hundred pound weight. Then took they the body of Jesus and wound it in linen clothes with the odors as the manner of the Jews is to bury. And in the place where Jesus was crucified, was a garden: and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man laid. There laid they Jesus because of the Jews' Sabbath even, for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
