Mark 15:44–47 · Berean Standard Bible

44 Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

45 When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46 So Joseph bought a linen cloth, took down the body of Jesus, wrapped it in the cloth, and placed it in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.

47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
