Mark 15:45 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:45

And when he knew it of the centurion
Who might inform him of his giving up the ghost after he had cried with a loud voice, which so much affected him; and how he was found to be really dead when they came to break the legs of the malefactors; and how that one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, from whence flowed blood and water; so that there was no room to doubt of his being really dead; with which Pilate being satisfied,

he gave the body to Joseph;
ordered it to be given to him; gave him leave to take it down from the cross, and inter it.

43 Yosef of Ramatayim, a prominent member of the Sanhedrin who himself was also looking forward to the Kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Yeshua's body.

44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead, so he summoned the officer and asked him if he had been dead awhile.

45 After he had gotten confirmation from the officer that Yeshua was dead, he granted Yosef the corpse.

46 Yosef purchased a linen sheet; and after taking Yeshua down, he wrapped him in the linen sheet, laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.

47 Miryam of Magdala and Miryam the mother of Yosi saw where he had been laid.
