Matthew 27:57-61

The Burial of Jesus

57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus. ¹

58 He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

59 So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60 and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut into the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance to the tomb and went away.

61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.
