approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself
become a disciple of Jesus.
58 Going to
Pilate, he asked for Jesus' body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.
59 Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a
clean linen cloth, 60 and 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 and went away.
61
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb."
Luke 23:53-54
"53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in
linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet
been laid. 54 It was Preparation Day,
and the Sabbath was about to begin."
