Joseph of Arimathea Lays Jesus In a Rock Tomb, With The Women Watching

⁴² And having already become evening^[a], because it was Preparation^[b] day (that is, the-day-before-the-Sabbath), ⁴³ Joseph from Arimathea having come (a prominent council-member^[c] who also himself was waiting-for the kingdom of God), having become daring^[d], went in to Pilate and asked-for the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴ But Pilate wondered whether He was dead by-this-time. And having summoned the centurion, he asked him whether He died already.
