50. And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good man and a just
51. (this man had not assented to their counsel and deed), of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who also waited, himself also, for the kingdom of God
52. --he having gone to Pilate begged the body of Jesus;
53. and having taken it down, wrapped it in fine linen and placed him in a tomb hewn in the rock, where no one had ever been laid.
54. And it was preparation day, and the sabbath twilight was coming on.
55. And women, who had come along with him out of Galilee, having followed, saw the sepulchre and how his body was placed.
56. And having returned they prepared aromatic spices and ointments, and remained quiet on the sabbath, according to the commandment.
