Mark 15:40-47

40There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome,

41who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

42Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

43Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

44Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time.

45So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

47And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.
