Matthew 27:55-61

55Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and looked after him were there, watching from a distance.

56Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

57When it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph came, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

58He approached Pilate and asked for Jesus’s body. Then Pilate ordered that it be released.

59So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in clean, fine linen,

60and placed it in his new tomb, which he had cut into the rock. He left after rolling a great stone against the entrance of the tomb.

61Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were seated there, facing the tomb.
