Luke 23:50-56

International Standard Version

Jesus is Buried^(A)

⁵⁰ Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council,^[a] a good and righteous man— ⁵¹ he had not voted for their plan and action—from the Jewish town of Arimathea; and he was waiting for the kingdom of God. ⁵² He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁵³ Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb cut in the rock, in which no one had yet been laid.

⁵⁴ It was the Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was just beginning. ⁵⁵ So the women who had come with Jesus^[b] from Galilee, following close behind, saw the tomb and how his body was laid. ⁵⁶ Then they went back and prepared spices and perfumes, and on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
