Compare all
55 And many women awho followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar,  
56 aamong whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and1 Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.  

Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb

57 Now awhen evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.  
58 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him.
59 When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 and alaid it in his new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.  
61 And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting1 opposite the tomb.  

Pilate Sets a Guard

62 On the next day, which followed the Day of Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate,
63 saying, “Sir, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, a‘After three days I will rise.’  
64 Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come1 by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, ‘He has risen from the dead.’ So the last deception will be worse than the first.”  
65 Pilate said to them, “You have a guard; go your way, make it as secure as you know how.”
66 So they went and made the tomb secure, asealing the stone and setting the guard.
