Jesus Is Buried (MRK 15:42-47)

[15:42] And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

[15:43] Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

[15:44] Pilate was surprised to hear that he should have already died. And summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead.

[15:45] And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph.

[15:46] And Joseph bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and laid him in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.

[15:47] Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.
