Luke 23:51-56

51 (he had not consented to their plan and action ), a man from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was 1waiting for the kingdom of God;
52 this man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 And he took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever lain.
54 It was 2the preparation day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.
55 Now 3the women who had come with Him out of Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how His body was laid.
56 Then they returned and 4prepared spices and perfumes. And 5 on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
