55 (A)And many women were there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while [a](B)ministering to Him. 56 Among them was (C)Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and (D)the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

Jesus Is Buried

57 (E)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 (F)a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away. 61 And (G)Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the grave.

62 Now on the next day, [b]the day after (H)the [c]Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together with Pilate, 63 and said, “Sir, we remember that when He was still alive that deceiver said, ‘(I)After three days I am to rise again.’ 64 Therefore, order for the grave to be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come and steal Him away and say to the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.” 65 Pilate said to them, “You have a (J)guard; go, make it as secure as you know how.” 66 And they went and made the grave secure, and along with (K)the guard they set a (L)seal on (M)the stone.

42 (E)And when evening had already come, because it was [c](F)Preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea came, a (G)prominent [d]Council member, who himself was (H)waiting for the kingdom of God; and he (I)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 (J)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 (K)And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where He had been laid.
