Goodspeed(i)
42 Although it was now evening, yet since it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
43 Joseph of Arimathea, a highly respected member of the council, who was himself living in expectation of the reign of God, made bold to go to Pilate and ask for Jesus' body.
44 Pilate wondered whether he was dead already, and he sent for the captain and asked whether he was dead yet,
45 and when he learned from the captain that he was, he gave Joseph permission to take the body.
46 And he bought a linen sheet and took him down from the cross and wrapped him in the sheet, and laid him in a tomb that had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the doorway of the tomb.
47 And Mary of Magdala and Mary, Joses' mother, were looking on and saw where he was put.
