As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus.

As evening approached, a rich man came from the town of Arimathea. His name was Joseph. He had become a follower of Jesus.

When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus.

When it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph came, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

Now when it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea came, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

Now when evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

And when even was come, there came a rich man from Arimathæa, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:

When it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph came, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:

Now when it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus.

When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple came.

Afterward Joseph of Arimathea, who had been a secret disciple of Jesus( because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate for permission to take down Jesus’ body. When Pilate gave permission, Joseph came and took the body away.With him came Nicodemus, the man who had come to Jesus at night. He brought about seventy five pounds of perfumed ointment made from myrrh and aloes.Following Jewish burial custom, they wrapped Jesus’ body with the spices in long sheets of linen cloth.The place of crucifixion was near a garden, where there was a new tomb, never used before.And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover and since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

This all happened on Friday, the day of preparation, the day before the Sabbath. As evening approached,Joseph of Arimathea took a risk and went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body.( Joseph was an honored member of the high council, and he was waiting for the Kingdom of God to come.)Pilate couldn’t believe that Jesus was already dead, so he called for the Roman officer and asked if he had died yet.The officer confirmed that Jesus was dead, so Pilate told Joseph he could have the body.Joseph bought a long sheet of linen cloth. Then he took Jesus’ body down from the cross, wrapped it in the cloth, and laid it in a tomb that had been carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone in front of the entrance.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where Jesus’ body was laid.

Now there was a good and righteous man named Joseph. He was a member of the Jewish high council,but he had not agreed with the decision and actions of the other religious leaders. He was from the town of Arimathea in Judea, and he was waiting for the Kingdom of God to come.He went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body.Then he took the body down from the cross and wrapped it in a long sheet of linen cloth and laid it in a new tomb that had been carved out of rock.This was done late on Friday afternoon, the day of preparation, as the Sabbath was about to begin.As his body was taken away, the women from Galilee followed and saw the tomb where his body was placed.Then they went home and prepared spices and ointments to anoint his body. But by the time they were finished the Sabbath had begun, so they rested as required by the law.

There was a man named Elkanah who lived in Ramah in the region of Zuph in the hill country of Ephraim. He was the son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, of Ephraim.

Then he would return to his home at Ramah, and he would hear cases there, too. And Samuel built an altar to the Lord at Ramah.
