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[h] the door of the tomb. 47 And Mary the Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were observing where He had been laid.
