Matthew 27:57-61, New Living Translation

The Burial of Jesus

57 As evening approached, Joseph, a rich man from Arimathea who was one of Jesus' followers,
58 went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. And Pilate issued an order to release it to him.
59 Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a long linen cloth.
60 He placed it in his own new tomb, which had been carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance as he left.
61 Both Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting nearby watching.
