John 19:38

JMNT(i) 38 Now after these things, Joseph from Arimathea – being a disciple of Jesus, yet being one having been hidden because of the fear of the Jews (= religious authorities) – made petition of Pilate, to the end that he could lift up and carry away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave permission. Therefore they [other MSS: he] came (or: went) and carried away His body.
