The Burial of Jesus

Matthew 27:57-61
57
And when even was come, there came a rich man from Arimathæa, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:
58
this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up.
59
And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60
and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.
61
And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
