Jesus Is Buried

⁴²And when it^* was already evening, since it was the day of preparation (that is, the day before the Sabbath), ⁴³Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the council who was also himself looking forward to^o the kingdom of God, came acting courageously and^* went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴And Pilate was surprised that he was already dead, and summoning the centurion, asked him whether he had died already. ⁴⁵And when he^* learned of it^* from the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph. ⁴⁶And after^* purchasing a linen cloth and^* taking him down, he wrapped him^* in the linen cloth and placed him in a tomb that had been cut from the rock. And he rolled a stone over the entrance of the tomb. ⁴⁷Now Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was placed.
