Luke 23:50-55

Jesus Is Buried

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.

53 And he took [it] down [and] wrapped it in a linen cloth and placed him in a tomb cut into the rock where no one had ever been placed.

54 And it was the day of preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.

55 And the women who had been accompanying him from Galilee followed [and] saw the tomb and how his body was placed.
