57 When it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph came, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.
58 He approached Pilate and asked for Jesus’s body. Then Pilate ordered that it [other mss read that the body] be released.
59 So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in clean, fine linen,
60 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.
61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were seated there, facing the tomb.
