Joseph

When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself was also Yeshua’s disciple came.

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

Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for the Kingdom of God, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Yeshua’s body.

When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

Behold, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man

After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Yeshua, but secretly for fear of the Judeans, asked of Pilate that he might take away Yeshua’s body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.
