OET (OET-LV) This one having_approached to_ the _Pilatos, requested the body of_ the _Yaʸsous.
Then the Pilatos commanded it to_be_given_back.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ᾐτήσατο τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Ἰησοῦ
requested the body ¬the ˱of˲_Jesus
The reason that Joseph asked Pilate for the body of Jesus was so that he could bury it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “asked for the body of Jesus so that he could bury it”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἀποδοθῆναι
/to_be/_given_back
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who would do the action, it is clear from the context that it would be Pilate’s soldiers. Alternate translation: “the soldiers to give it to him”
27:58 In Roman crucifixion, the bodies of criminals were often left to rot. Deut 21:22-23 prohibits a body from remaining on a cross or a gallows overnight. Joseph’s action was in accordance with Jewish law, while his motivation was probably his loyalty to Jesus.
• Pilate issued an order: Pilate was accommodating, probably because he did not believe Jesus was guilty of insurrection (see Matt 27:24-26).
