And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph.
After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body.
And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
