49 ^aBut all His acquaintances, and the women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb

50 ^aNow behold, there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and just man.

51 He had not consented to their decision and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, ^awho himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God.

52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

53 ^aThen he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before.

54 That day was ^athe Preparation, and the Sabbath drew near.

He had not consented to their counsel and deed (outov ouk hn sunkatateqeimenov th boulh kai th pracei autwn). This parenthesis is given by Luke alone and explains that, though a councillor (bouleuthv, Mark 5:43) he had not agreed to the vote of the Sanhedrin. It is fairly certain that both Joseph and Nicodemus were suspected of sympathy with Jesus and so were not invited to the trial of Jesus.

Was looking for (prosedexeto). Imperfect middle. Mark 15:43 has the periphrastic imperfect (hn prosdexomenov).
