Matthew 27:57-61

Jesus Is Buried

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

58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

59 And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud

60 and ²laid it in his own new tomb, ³which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled ⁴a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away.

61 Mary Magdalene and ⁵the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.
