Jesus Is Buried

^42 (A)And when evening had already come, because it was ^[a](B)Preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, ⁴³ Joseph of Arimathea came, a ^(C)prominent ^[b]Council member, who himself was ^(D)waiting for the kingdom of God; and he ^(E)gathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴ And Pilate wondered if He had died by this time, and summoning the centurion, he questioned him as to whether He already died. ⁴⁵ And ascertaining this from ^(F)the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. ⁴⁶ And when Joseph had bought a linen cloth and took Him down, he wrapped Him in the linen cloth and laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out in the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. ^47 (G)And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where He had been laid.

^57 (A)Now when it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. ⁵⁸ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. ⁵⁹ And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, ⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled ^(B)a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away. ⁶¹ And ^(C)Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the grave.

^50 (A)And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a ^(B)Council member, a good and righteous man ⁵¹ (he had not consented to their counsel and action), a man from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was ^(C)waiting for the kingdom of God; ⁵² this man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁵³ And he took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever lain. ⁵⁴ It was ^[a](D)Preparation day, and the Sabbath was about to ^[b]begin. ⁵⁵ Now ^(E)the women, who had come with Him from Galilee, followed and beheld the tomb and how His body was laid. ⁵⁶ Then after they returned, they ^(F)prepared spices and perfumes.

And ^(G)on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

^38 (A)Now after these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but ^(B)secretly because of his ^(C)fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body. ^39 (D)And Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, ^(E)bringing a ^[a]mixture of ^(F)myrrh and aloes, weighing about ^[b]one ^(G)hundred litras. ⁴⁰ So they took the body of Jesus and ^(H)bound it in ^(I)linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. ⁴¹ Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a ^(J)new tomb ^(K)in which no one had yet been laid. ⁴² Therefore because of the Jewish day of ^(L)Preparation, since the tomb was ^(M)nearby, they laid Jesus there.
