Luke 23:49-55

49And all His acquaintances and the women who had accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, watching these things.

50A man named Joseph, who was a member of the Council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court), a good and honorable man

51(he had not consented to the Council’s plan and action) a man from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was waiting for and expecting the kingdom of God;

52this man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

53And [after receiving permission] he took it down and wrapped it in a linen [burial] cloth and laid Him in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had yet been laid.

54It was the day of preparation [for the Sabbath], and the Sabbath was dawning.

55Now the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed [closely], and saw the tomb and how His body was laid.
