Jesus Is Buried

50 ^yNow there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, 51 who had not consented to their decision and action; and he ^zwas looking for the kingdom of God.

43 Joseph of Arimathea, ^ma respected member of the council, who ⁿwas also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he should have already died.¹ And summoning ^othe centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. 45 And when he learned from ^othe centurion that he was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph.

39 ^uNicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus¹ by night, came ^vbringing a mixture of ^wmyrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds² in weight. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and ^xbound it in ^ylinen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a ^zgarden, and ^ain the garden a new tomb ^bin which no one had yet been laid.

60 and ^claid it in his own new tomb, ^dwhich he had cut in the rock. And he rolled ^ea great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away. 61 Mary Magdalene and ^fthe other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.

55 ^dThe women ^ewho had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid. 56 Then they returned and ^fprepared spices and ointments.

On the Sabbath they rested ^gaccording to the commandment.
