50 Then, look, there was a man named Yosef on the local council. (He was a good man and godly, 51 and hadn’t agreed with what the council had decided and done. He was from the Jewish city of Arimathea and was waiting for God’s kingdom to come.) 52 He went in to see Pilate and requested Yeshua’s body, 53 then he took it down from the stake and wrapped it in some linen cloth, and put the body into a tomb hollowed into the rock—a new tomb that had never been used. 54 It was now the day of preparation and the Rest Day was about to begin.

55 The women who’d come from Galilee followed Yosef and his men and saw the tomb and how the body was placed inside, 56 [ref]then they returned to the house and prepared spices and ointments.
