behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a
just:
51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and
deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited
for the kingdom of God.

Jesus.
53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and
laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was
laid.
54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath
drew on.

Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
56 And they returned, and prepared spices and
ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of
Arimathea and he was waiting for the kingdom of God. 52Going to
Pilate, he asked for Jesus' body. 53Then he took it down, wrapped it
in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had
yet been laid. 54It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to
begin.

saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. 56Then they went home
and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to
the commandment.
