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.

The Burial of Jesus
42 When evening had come, and since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath,(A) 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council who was also himself waiting expectantly for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.(B) 44 Then Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and summoning the centurion he asked him whether he had been dead for some time. 45 When he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph.(C) 46 Then Joseph[a] bought a linen cloth and, taking down the body,[b] wrapped it in the linen cloth and laid it in a tomb that had been hewn out of rock. He then rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where the body[c] was laid.
