Mark 15:40-47

40AndG1161 there wereG1510 alsoG2532 womenG1135 watchingG2334 fromG575 a distanceG3113. AmongG1722 themG3739 were MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094, MaryG3137 theG3588 motherG3384 of JamesG2385 theG3588 youngerG3398 andG2532 of JosesG2500,1 andG2532 SalomeG4539. 41These women had followedG190 Jesus andG2532 ministeredG1247 to HimG846 whileG3753 He wasG1510 inG1722 GalileeG1056, andG2532 there were manyG4183 otherG243 women whoG3588 had come upG4872 toG1519 JerusalemG2414 with HimG846.

42NowG2532 it wasG1096 alreadyG2235 eveningG3798. SinceG1893 it wasG1510 Preparation DayG3904 (thatG3739 isG1510, the day before the SabbathG4315), 43JosephG2501 ofG575 ArimatheaG707, a prominentG2158 Council memberG1010 whoG3739 himselfG846G2532 wasG1510 waiting forG4327 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316, boldlyG5111 wentG2064G1525 toG4314 PilateG4091 to ask forG154 theG3588 bodyG4983 of JesusG2424.

PilateG4091 was surprisedG2296 to hear thatG1487 Jesus was already deadG2235G2348, soG2532 he summonedG4341 theG3588 centurionG2760 to askG1905 ifG1487 this was so. 45When Pilate had confirmedG1097 it withG575 theG3588 centurionG2760, he grantedG1433 theG3588 bodyG4430 to JosephG2501.

46SoG2532 Joseph boughtG59 a linen clothG4616, took downG2507 the body of Jesus, wrapped it inG1750 theG3588 clothG4616, andG2532 placedG5087 it inG1722 a tombG3419 thatG3739 had beenG1510 cutG2998 out ofG1537 the rockG4073. ThenG2532 he rolledG4351 a stoneG3037 againstG1909 theG3588 entranceG2374 to theG3588 tombG3419. 47MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094 andG2532 MaryG3137 theG3588 mother of JosephG25002 sawG2334 whereG4225 His body was placedG5087.
