Joseph of Arimathea, a noble counsellor, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus.
44
But Pilate wondered that he should be already dead. And sending for the centurion, he asked him if he were already dead.
45
And when he had understood it by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

47
And Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother of Joseph, beheld where he was laid.
