After the death of Jesus, a member of the Jewish council (Sanhedrin), Joseph of the Arimathea
requested Pilate to bury the body of Jesus.
He was a good and honourable man.
He took the body and wrapped it in a linen sheet and placed it in a fresh tomb.
He had agreed with the decision of other members of the council to have Jesus killed.
By giving Jesus a very honourable burial, He confirmed that Jesus was truly the son of God and
king of the Jews.
This fulfills what had been prophesized in Isaiah 15:90
There were women who followed Joseph and saw where he had laid the body of Jesus. They
went to prepare spices and perfumes which they hoped to use to treat the body of Jesus after the
Sabbath.
It was on Friday and the Sabbath was nearing. A body was not allowed to remain on the gallows
all night for it could defile the land. And therefore, burial had to be done before sunset.
On the Sabbath day they rested as required by the law
