42 And when it was evening, because it was the time of getting ready, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
And in the evening, there came a man of wealth from Arimathaea, Joseph by name, who was a disciple of Jesus: This man went in to Pilate, and made a request for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate gave orders for it to be given to him. And Joseph took the body, folding it in clean linen, And put it in the resting-place which had been cut out of the rock for himself; and after rolling a great stone to the door of it he went away. And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, seated by the place of the dead. Now on the day after the getting ready of the Passover, the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate,
Now there was a man named Joseph, a man of authority and a good and upright man (He had not given his approval to their decision or their acts), of Arimathaea, a town of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God: This man went to Pilate and made a request for the body of Jesus. And he took it down, and folding it in a linen cloth, he put it in a place cut in the rock for a dead body; and no one had ever been put in it. Now it was the day of making ready and the Sabbath was coming on. And the women who had come with him from Galilee went after him and saw the place and how his body had been put to rest; And they went back and got ready spices and perfumes; and on the Sabbath they took their rest, in agreement with the law.
After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, made a request to Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate said he might do so. So he went and took away his body. And Nicodemus came (he who had first come to Jesus by night) with a roll of myrrh and aloes mixed, about a hundred pounds. Then they took the body of Jesus, folding linen about it with the spices, as is the way of the Jews when they put the dead to rest. Now there was a garden near the cross, and in the garden a new place for the dead in which no man had ever been put. So they put Jesus there, because it was the Jews' day of getting ready for the Passover, and the place was near.
