Matthew 27:57-61

Modern English Version

The Burial of Jesus^(A)

⁵⁷ When the evening came, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus. ⁵⁸ He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him. ⁵⁹ When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, ⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out of the rock. And he rolled a large stone to the door of the tomb and departed. ⁶¹ Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.
