Matthew 27:55-61

55And many women who had come from Galilee with Jesus to care for him were watching from a distance.

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

57As evening approached, Joseph, a rich man from Arimathea who had become a follower of Jesus,

58went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. And Pilate issued an order to release it to him.

59Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a long sheet of clean linen cloth.

60He placed it in his own new tomb, which had been carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance and left.

61Both Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting across from the tomb and watching.
