Matthew 27:57-61

The Burial of Jesus

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

58 He approached Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. Then Pilate ordered that it^[a] be released.

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

60 and placed it in his new tomb, which he had cut into the rock. He left after rolling a great stone against the entrance of the tomb.

61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were seated there, facing the tomb.
