Luke 23:50-56

Jesus Is Buried

50 ¹Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man,

51 who had not consented to their decision and action; and he ²was looking for the kingdom of God.

52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

53 Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and ³laid him in a tomb cut in stone, ⁴where no one had ever yet been laid.

54 It was the day of ⁵Preparation, and the Sabbath was beginning.^[a]

55 ⁶The women ⁷who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.

56 Then they returned and ⁸prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested ⁹according to the commandment.
