Key for above GNTs: red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
15:43-45 Joseph of Arimathea (possibly from the village of Ramathaim, twenty miles northwest of Jerusalem) was an honored member of the high council and a secret disciple of Jesus who was waiting for the Kingdom of God to come (see Matt 27:57; Luke 23:50-51; John 19:38). He courageously requested the body of Jesus from Pilate for burial. Since he was a member of the high council and was not known to be Jesus’ disciple, it served Rome’s purposes to grant his request: It would satisfy Jewish concerns about leaving the dead exposed after sunset (Deut 21:22-23), and Jesus’ disciples would not receive the body.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
δὲ
and
Here, the word But introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “Then”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
εἰ ἤδη τέθνηκεν
if already ˱he˲_/has/_died
Here Mark means that Pilate was not sure whether Jesus had already died, but he marveled that it might be true. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that indicates this kind of possibility. Alternate translation: “because it was possible that Jesus had already died”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὸν κεντυρίωνα
the centurion
Here Mark implies that this is the same centurion who was in charge of crucifying Jesus (see 15:39). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the centurion who was in charge of Jesus’ crucifixion” or “the centurion who oversaw Jesus’ execution”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὸν εἰ πάλαι ἀπέθανεν
˱he˲_asked him whether (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος ἐθαύμασεν εἰ ἤδη τέθνηκεν καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος τὸν κεντυρίωνα ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὸν εἰ ἤδη ἀπέθανεν)
It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: “he asked him, ‘Has he already died?’”
