52. And the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised,
53. and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

57. Now when it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph came, who also was a disciple of Jesus himself.
58. This man approached Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
59. And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60. and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut in the rock. And he rolled a large stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away.
61. Now Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.
