40. And there were women also looking on from afar off, among whom were both Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41. who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him and ministered to him; and many others who came up with him to Jerusalem.
42. And when it was already evening, since it was the preparation, that is, the day before a sabbath,
43. Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable councillor, who also himself was awaiting the kingdom of God, coming, emboldened himself and went in to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus.
44. And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and having called to him the centurion, he inquired of him if he had long died.
45. And when he knew from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
46. And having bought fine linen, and having taken him down, he swathed him in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was cut out of rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.
47. And Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was put.
