40. And there were also women beholding from afar: among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41. who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him; and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
42. And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
43. there came Joseph of Arimathaea, a councillor of honourable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
44. And Pilate marveled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
45. And when he learned it of the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph.
