Luke 23:50-56
Modern English Version
The Burial of Jesus(A)
50 Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, who was a good and just man. 51 He had not consented to their counsel and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, and he himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53 Then he took Him down, and wrapped Him in linen, and placed Him in a hewn tomb, where no one had ever been buried. 54 It was the Day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
55 The women who came with Him from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how His body was placed. 56 Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

Jesus Is Buried
50 And behold, a man named[a] Joseph, who was a member of the council,[b] a good[c] and righteous man 51 (this man was not consenting to their plan and deed), from Arimathea, a Judean town,[d] who was looking forward to the kingdom of God. 52 This man approached Pilate and[e] asked for the body of Jesus. 53 And he took it[f] down and[g] wrapped it in a linen cloth and placed him in a tomb cut into the rock where no one had ever been placed. 54 And it was the day of preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near. 55 And the women who had been accompanying him from Galilee followed and[h] saw the tomb and how his body was placed. 56 And they returned and[i] prepared fragrant spices and perfumes, and on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
