Matthew 27:55-61

55Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and given him support were also there, watching from a distance.

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

57Now when it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus.

58He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

59Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut in the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance of the tomb and went away.

61(Now Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there, opposite the tomb.)
