Mark 15 : 42 - 16 : 1
42 | Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, |
43 | Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. |
44 | Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time. |
45 | So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. |
46 | Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. |
47 | And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid. |
1 | Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. |
