The Burial

Luke 23:50-56

And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good and righteous man

(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), a man of Arimathæa, a city of the Jews, who was looking for the kingdom of God:

this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

And he took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was hewn in stone, where never man had yet lain.

And it was the day of the Preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

And the women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid.

And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. And on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
