Mark 15:47

Verse 47 of 47. The 15th of 16 chapters in Mark, in The Gospels.

43Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for God’s Kingdom, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.

44Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.

45When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

47Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.
