The Burial

Luke 23:50-56

And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man good and righteous,

--he was not consenting to their counsel and deed--from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the reign of God,

he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus,

and having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn out, where no one was yet laid.

And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching,

and the women also who have come with him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was placed,

and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.
