55
Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Yeshua from the Galil, serving him,
56
among whom was Miryam from Magdala, Miryam the mother of Ya`akov and Yosi, and the mother of the sons of Zavdai.
57
When evening had come, there came a rich man from Ramatayim, named Yosef, who also himself was Yeshua' talmid.
58
This man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Yeshua. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
59
Yosef took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60
and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.
61
Miryam from Magdala was there, and the other Miryam, sitting opposite the tomb.
62
Now on the next day, which is the day after the Preparation, the chief Kohanim and the Perushim were gathered together to Pilate,
63
saying, "Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: 'After three days I will rise again.'
64
Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his talmidim come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, 'He is risen from the dead;' and the last deception will be worse than the first."
65
Pilate said to them, "You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can."
