Jesus Is Buried

(Matthew 27.57-61; Mark 15.42-47; Luke 23.50-56)

³⁸ Joseph from Arimathea was one of Jesus' disciples. He had kept it secret though, because he was afraid of the Jewish leaders. But now he asked Pilate to let him have Jesus' body. Pilate gave him permission, and Joseph took it down from the cross.
