After this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus— but secretly because of his fear of the Jews— asked Pilate that he might remove Jesus’s body. Pilate gave him permission; so he came and took his body away.Nicodemus( who had previously come to him at night) also came, bringing a mixture of about seventy-five pounds of myrrh and aloes.They took Jesus’s body and wrapped it in linen cloths with the fragrant spices, according to the burial custom of the Jews.There was a garden in the place where he was crucified. A new tomb was in the garden; no one had yet been placed in it.They placed Jesus there because of the Jewish day of preparation and since the tomb was nearby.

There was a good and righteous man named Joseph, a member of the Sanhedrin,who had not agreed with their plan and action. He was from Arimathea, a Judean town, and was looking forward to the kingdom of God.He approached Pilate and asked for Jesus’s body.Taking it down, he wrapped it in fine linen and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever been placed.It was the preparation day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.The women who had come with him from Galilee followed along and observed the tomb and how his body was placed.Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.

When it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph came, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.He approached Pilate and asked for Jesus’s body. Then Pilate ordered that it be released.So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in clean, fine linen,and placed it in his new tomb, which he had cut into the rock. He left after rolling a great stone against the entrance of the tomb.Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were seated there, facing the tomb.The next day, which followed the preparation day, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate

Since it was the preparation day, the Jews did not want the bodies to remain on the cross on the Sabbath( for that Sabbath was a special day). They requested that Pilate have the men’s legs broken and that their bodies be taken away.
