Mark 15:40-47 ▼

40 Now there were also women looking on at a distance; among whom also was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the small, and the mother of Joses, and Salome.

41 These women followed him when he was in Galilee, and supplied his wants; and many other women who went up with him to Jerusalem.

42 And when the evening was now come (since it was the preparation, that is the day preceding the sabbath),

43 Joseph, who was from Arimathea, came, a respectable person, a counsellor, and who himself also was expecting the kingdom of God; taking courage, he went in to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

44 Then Pilate marvelled that he should be already dead: and calling for the centurion, he asked him, If he had been dead any time.

45 And when he knew it from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

46 And having bought a wrapper of fine linen, and taken him down, he wrapped him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a sepulchre, which was hewn out of a rock; and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.

47 Now Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.
