Matthew 27:57-61

Jesus Is Buried

57 Now [when it] was evening, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph came, who also was a disciple of Jesus himself.

58 This man approached 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 cloth,

60 and placed it in his [own] new tomb that he had cut in the rock. And he rolled a large stone to the entrance of the tomb [and] went away.

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