VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴² It was the Day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath. Since it was already evening, ⁴³ Joseph of Arimathea, a highly honored member of the council, who was himself looking for the kingdom of God, ventured to go to Pilate and ask for Jesus' body. ⁴⁴ Pilate marveled that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if he was already dead. ⁴⁵ And when he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph.
