50 There was likewise present a counsellor, named Joseph, a man of probity and justice, one who had never abetted the contrivances and proceedings of the Jews. 51 he was of Arimathea, a city of Judea, and one of those, who were in expectation of the Messiah's reign. 52 this very man went to Pilate, and begg'd the body of Jesus. 53 and he took it down, and wrapp'd it in linnen, and laid it in a sepulchre, hewn out of a rock, wherein nobody had ever yet been deposited. 54 now that day was the preparation, and the sabbath then drew on. 55 the women therefore, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee, followed Joseph, to the sepulchre, to see how the body was disposed of. 56 then they went home, and provided spices and perfumes: after which they rested the sabbath-day, as the law appointed.
