Mark 15:42-47
Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,Joseph 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.Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time.So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.Then 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.And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.

After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus.And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day, for the tomb was nearby.
