Disciples’ Literal New Testament

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. ⁴⁵ And having come-to-know it from the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph. ⁴⁶ And having bought linen-cloth, having taken Him down, he wrapped Him in the linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of rock. And he rolled a stone against^[e] the door of the tomb. ⁴⁷ And Mary the Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were observing where He had been laid.
