Mark 15:42-47

Jesus Is Buried

42 ^aAnd when evening had already come, because it was ¹^bPreparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea came, a ^aprominent ¹Council member, who himself was ^bwaiting for the kingdom of God; and he ^cgathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 And Pilate wondered if He had died by this time, and summoning the centurion, he questioned him as to whether He already died. 45 And ascertaining this from ^athe centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46 And when Joseph had bought a linen cloth and took Him down, he wrapped Him in the linen cloth and laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out in the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 47 ^aAnd Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where He had been laid.
