Luke 23:50-56

Jesus Is Buried

50 ¹And a man named Joseph, who was a ²member of the Council, a good and righteous man

51 (he had not consented to their plan and action ), a man from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was ³waiting 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 ⁴the preparation day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.

55 Now ⁵the 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 ⁶prepared spices and perfumes. And ⁷ on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
