52. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
53. Then he took it down and rolled it up in a linen cloth for swathing dead bodies and laid Him in a rock-hewn tomb, where no one had ever yet been laid.
54. It was the day of Preparation [for the Sabbath], and the Sabbath was dawning (approaching).
55. The women who had come with [Jesus] from Galilee followed closely and saw the tomb and how His body was laid.
56. Then they went back and made ready spices and ointments (perfumes). On the Sabbath day they rested in accordance with the commandment. [Exod. 12:16; 20:10.]
