Jesus’ Burial

57  Now when it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus. 58  He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered that it be given to him. 59  Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60  and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut in the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance of the tomb and went away. 61  (Now Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there, opposite the tomb.)
