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.

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
