Luke 23:52-54

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵² So Joseph went to see Pilate. He asked Pilate for the dead body of Jesus. Pilate agreed to this. ⁵³ Joseph then went to the place where Jesus died. He took the dead body down from the cross. He put a piece of linen cloth around the body. Then he put the body into a large hole in the rock. People had made that hole to put dead bodies in, but it was the first time that anyone had used it.^[a]

⁵⁴ This all happened on the day before the Jewish day of rest. It was nearly time for the Jewish day of rest to begin.^[b]
