Context of Mark 15:47

45The captain told Pilate that Jesus was already dead. So then Pilate let Joseph go and take Jesus' dead body. 46Joseph bought a piece of linen cloth. He took Jesus' body down from the cross and he put the cloth around it. Then he put the body in a large hole in a rock. People had made that hole to put dead bodies in. After this, Joseph rolled a big stone across the front of the hole to shut it. Mary from Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching. They saw where Joseph had put Jesus' dead body.
