Luke 23:50 In-Context

48 And all the crowds that had come together for this spectacle, [when they] saw the things that had happened, returned [home] beating [their] breasts.
49 And all his acquaintances, and the women who had followed him from Galilee who saw these [things], stood at a distance.
50 And behold, a man {named} Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
51 (this man was not consenting to their plan and deed), from Arimathea, {a Judean town}, who was looking forward to the kingdom of God.
52 This man approached Pilate [and] asked for the body of Jesus.
