Joseph buries Jesus' dead body

⁴² It was Friday and the Jews were preparing for their day of rest on the Sabbath. ⁴³ That evening, a man called Joseph went to see Pilate. Joseph was from a town called Arimathea. He was a good man and he was one of the group of important Jewish leaders. He was waiting for the time when God would start to rule his people in his kingdom. Joseph bravely asked Pilate for the dead body of Jesus to bury it.
