⁴⁰And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome, ⁴¹(who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

⁴²And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath, ⁴³Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead, ⁴⁵and having known it from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. ⁴⁶And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre, ⁴⁷and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid.
