Jesus’ Burial
15:42Now66 when evening had already come, since it was the day of preparation (that is, the day before the Sabbath),6715:43Joseph of Arimathea, a highly regarded member of the council,68 who was himself looking forward to69 the kingdom of God,70 went boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.71
Footnotes
- 66 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic and introduction of a new character.
- 67 The day of preparation was the day before the Sabbath when everything had to be prepared for it, as no work could be done on the Sabbath.
- 68 Grk “a councillor” (as a member of the Sanhedrin, see L&N 11.85). This indicates that some individuals among the leaders did respond to Jesus.
- 69 Or “waiting for.”
- 70 Though some dispute that Joseph of Arimathea was a disciple of Jesus, this remark that he was looking forward to the kingdom of God and his actions regarding Jesus’ burial suggest otherwise.
- 71 Asking for the body of Jesus was indeed a bold move on the part of Joseph of Arimathea, for it clearly and openly identified him with a man who had just been condemned and executed, namely, Jesus. His faith is exemplary, especially for someone who was a member of the council that handed Jesus over for crucifixion (cf. Luke 23:51). He did this because he sought to give Jesus an honorable burial.
