Jesus Is Placed in a Tomb(A)

42 It was Friday evening, before the day of worship, 43 when Joseph arrived. He was from the city of Arimathea and was an important member of the Jewish council. He, too, was waiting for the kingdom of God. Joseph boldly went to Pilate’s quarters to ask for the body of Yeshua.

44 Pilate wondered if Yeshua had already died. So he summoned the officer to ask him if Yeshua was, in fact, dead. 45 When the officer had assured him that Yeshua was dead, Pilate let Joseph have the corpse.

46 Joseph had purchased some linen cloth. He took the body down from the cross and wrapped it in the cloth. Then he laid the body in a tomb, which had been cut out of rock, and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47 Mary from Magdala and Mary (the mother of Joses) watched where Yeshua was laid.

Jesus Is Placed in a Tomb(A)

50 There was a good man who had God’s approval. His name was Joseph. He was a member of the Jewish council, 51 but he had not agreed with what they had done. He was from the Jewish city of Arimathea, and he was waiting for the kingdom of God.

52 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Yeshua. 53 After he took it down from the cross, he wrapped it in linen. Then he laid the body in a tomb cut in rock, a tomb in which no one had ever been buried. 54 It was Friday, and the day of worship was just beginning.

55 The women who had come with Yeshua from Galilee followed closely behind Joseph. They observed the tomb and how his body was laid in it. 56 Then they went back to the city and prepared spices and perfumes. But on the day of worship they rested according to the commandment.

Jesus Is Placed in a Tomb(A)

38 Later Joseph from the city of Arimathea asked Pilate to let him remove Yeshua’s body. (Joseph was a disciple of Yeshua but secretly because he was afraid of the Jews). Pilate gave him permission to remove Yeshua’s body. So Joseph removed it. 39 Nicodemus, the one who had first come to Yeshua at night, went with Joseph and brought 75 pounds of a myrrh and aloe mixture.

40 These two men took the body of Yeshua and bound it with strips of linen. They laced the strips with spices. This was the Jewish custom for burial.

41 A garden was located in the place where Yeshua was crucified. In that garden was a new tomb in which no one had yet been placed. 42 Joseph and Nicodemus put Yeshua in that tomb, since that day was the Jewish day of preparation and since the tomb was nearby.
