'Body' in the Bible
Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the deceased, replied, "Lord, by this time the body will have a bad smell, because he has been buried four days."
After this, Joseph of Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus (but secretly, because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he went and took the body away.
Then they took Jesus' body and wrapped it, with the aromatic spices, in strips of linen cloth according to Jewish burial customs.
And so, because it was the Jewish day of preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus' body there.
And she saw two angels in white sitting where Jesus' body had been lying, one at the head and one at the feet.
