39 When the centurion, who was standing in front of Him, saw the way Yeshua breathed His last, he said, “This Man really was the Son of God!”
40 There were also women watching from a distance. Among them were Miriam from Magdala, Miriam the mother of Jacob the younger and of Joses, and Salome.
41 They would follow Him and serve Him when He was in the Galilee. Many other women who had gone up together with Him to Jerusalem were there also.
42 Now evening had already come. Since it was the Day of Preparation, that is, the day before Shabbat,
43 Joseph of Arimathea, a respected council member who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Yeshua’s body.
44 Pilate was surprised that He was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him whether Yeshua had been dead for long.
45 When Pilate learned this from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
