Pilate ordered that it be given to him.Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth.He placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb. Then he went away.

Jesus was aware of this. So he said to them,“ Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me.

He was a leading member of the Jewish Council. He was waiting for God’s kingdom.Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead. So he called for the Roman commander. He asked him if Jesus had already died.The commander said it was true. So Pilate gave the body to Joseph.Then Joseph bought some linen cloth. He took down the body and wrapped it in the linen. He put it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where Jesus’ body had been placed.

Later Joseph asked Pilate for Jesus’ body. Joseph was from the town of Arimathea. He was a follower of Jesus. But he followed Jesus secretly because he was afraid of the Jewish leaders. After Pilate gave him permission, Joseph came and took the body away.Nicodemus went with Joseph. He was the man who had earlier visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought some mixed spices that weighed about 75 pounds.The two men took Jesus’ body. They wrapped it in strips of linen cloth, along with the spices. That was the way the Jews buried people.At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden. A new tomb was there. No one had ever been put in it before.That day was the Jewish Preparation Day, and the tomb was nearby. So they placed Jesus there.

“ Leave her alone,” Jesus said.“ Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.
