The Burial of Jesus

Matthew 27:57-61

The Burial of Jesus

57
And evening having come, there came a rich man, from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was discipled to Jesus,
58
he having gone near to Pilate, asked for himself the body of Jesus; then Pilate commanded the body to be given back.
59
And having taken the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen,
60
and laid it in his new tomb, that he hewed in the rock, and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away;
61
and there were there Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over-against the sepulchre.
