New Testament Notes

Entombment


Entombment is the episode, which follows the Crucifixion and is closely related to the Lamentation. It is described in all four Gospels: Matthew 27:55-61; Mark 15:40-47; Luke 23:49-56; John 19:31-42.
In the evening of the execution day, Joseph of Arimathaea approached Pilate and obtained his permission to bury Christ’s body. "Pilate gave orders that he should have it. Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen sheet, and laid it in his own unused tomb, which he had cut out of the rock. He then rolled a large stine against the entrance, and went away." (Matthew 27:59-61).  According to different evidence Joseph was helped by Nicodemus, Mary Magdalene, Jesus’ mother, and some other women.
