New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Burial of Jesus
50 Now there was a good and righteous man named Joseph who, though a member of the council, 51 had not agreed to their plan and action. He came from the Jewish town of Arimathea, and he was waiting expectantly for the kingdom of God.(A) 52 This man 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 rock-hewn tomb where no one had ever been laid. 54 It was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was beginning.[a](B) 55 The women who had come with him from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how his body was laid.(C) 56 Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments.
On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.(D)
