50 And just then [there appeared] a member of the [Jewish] Council named Joseph from the city of Arimathea. He was a good man who tried to do what was right,
51 (and who had not agreed with the decision and action of the [Jewish] Council). He was expecting the kingdom of God [to appear soon].
52 [So], Joseph went to [governor] Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 [Upon receiving permission] he took it down [from the cross] and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed it in a grave site, cut out of [a ledge of] rock, where no one had ever been buried.
54 This happened on the Day of Preparation [for the Passover Festival], as the Sabbath day was about to begin [i.e., shortly before 6 PM on Friday].
55 The women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee followed behind [those carrying the body] and saw where the grave site was and how His body was placed in it.
56 So, they returned [home] and prepared spices and [aromatic] oils [i.e., for embalming Jesus’ body]. Then they rested on the Sabbath day according to the [fourth] commandment. [See Ex. 20:10].
