Jesus Is Buried
57 aWhen it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus.Mark 15:43-46
43Joseph of Arimathea, ba respected member of the council, who cwas also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44Pilate was surprised to hear that he should have already died. ▼▼Or Pilate wondered whether he had already died
And summoning ethe centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. 45And when he learned from fthe centurion that he was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph. 46And Joseph ▼▼Greek he
bought ha linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and ilaid him in a tomb jthat had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled ka stone against the entrance of the tomb. John 19:39-40
39 lNicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus ▼▼Greek him
by night, came nbringing a mixture of omyrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds ▼▼Greek one hundred litras; a litra (or Roman pound) was equal to about 11 1/2 ounces or 327 grams
in weight. 40So they took the body of Jesus and qbound it in rlinen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.
