Mark 15:42-47
42Jesus Is Buried Matthew 27:57-61; Luke 23:50-56; John 19:38-42It was the Day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath. Since it was already evening,Matt 27:57; Luke 23:50; John 19:38 43Joseph of Arimathea, a highly respected member of the Council, ▼▼Or Sanhedrin
who was waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.Luke 2:25, 38 44Pilate wondered if Jesus ▼▼Lit. he
had already died, so he summoned the centurion to ask him if he was in fact dead. 45When he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he let Joseph have the corpse. 46Joseph ▼▼Lit. He
bought some linen cloth, took the body ▼▼Lit. it
down, and wrapped it in the cloth. Then he laid it in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.Matt 27:59-60; Luke 23:53; John 19:40 47Now Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he was laid. Luke 23:50-56
50Jesus Is Buried Matthew 27:57-61; Mark 15:42-47; John 19:38-42Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and righteous man—Matt 27:57; Mark 15:42; John 19:38 51he had not voted for their plan and action—from the Jewish town of Arimathea; and he was waiting for the kingdom of God.Mark 15:43; Luke 2:25, 38 52He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb cut in the rock, in which no one had yet been laid.Matt 27:59; Mark 15:46 54It was the Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was just beginning.Matt 27:62 55So the women who had come with Jesus ▼▼Lit. him
from Galilee, following close behind, saw the tomb and how his body was laid.Mark 15:47; Luke 8:2 56Then they went back and prepared spices and perfumes, and on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.Exod 20:10; Mark 16:1 John 19:38-42
38Jesus Is Buried Matthew 27:57-61; Mark 15:42-47; Luke 23:50-56Later on, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (though a secret one because he was afraid of the Jews), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, and he came and removed his body.Matt 27:57; Mark 15:42; Luke 23:50; John 9:22; 12:42 39Nicodemus, the man who had first come to Jesus at night, also arrived, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about a hundred pounds.John 3:1-2; 7:50 40They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths along with spices, according to the burial custom of the Jews.Acts 5:6 41A garden was located in the place where he was crucified, and in that garden was a new tomb in which no one had yet been placed. 42Because it was the Jewish Preparation Day, and because the tomb was nearby, they put Jesus there.Isa 53:9; John 19:31
