There were also
some women looking on afar off, among whom was Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the lesser and of Joses, and Salome
41
(who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him and ministered unto him), and many other women who came up with him unto Jerusalem.
42
And now when the evening was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
43
Joseph of Arimathaea, a noble senator, who also waited for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly unto Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
44
And Pilate marvelled that he was already dead; and calling
unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead.
45
And when he knew
it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46
And he bought fine linen and took him down and wrapped him in the linen and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
47
And Mary Magdalene and Mary
the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
