Joseph

When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.

So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent Council member who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God, boldly went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

Afterward, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and removed His body.
