Read in context

Luke 23:49–53 · Berean Standard Bible

49 But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

50 Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

51 who had not consented to their decision or action. He was from the Judean town of Arimathea, and was waiting for the kingdom of God.

52 He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had yet been laid.
