Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ 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.
