The Burial of Jesus

⁴⁶So Joseph bought a linen cloth, took down the body of Jesus, wrapped it in the cloth, and placed it in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb. ⁴⁷Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.

Summary

This verse describes the burial of Jesus after His crucifixion, mentioning the specific location where He was laid to rest. Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the Jewish council, took the initiative to request Jesus' body from Pilate and laid it in a tomb that had been cut out of rock. The act of burying Jesus fulfilled the prophecy that He would be buried with the rich. This detail highlights the dignity and respect shown to Jesus even in His death, foreshadowing His victorious resurrection.

Commentary

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

Beheld where he was laid - The courage and affection of these holy women cannot be too much admired. The strength of the Lord is perfected in weakness; for here a timid man, and a few weak women, acknowledge Jesus in death, when the strong and the mighty utterly forsook him. Human strength and human weakness are only names in religion. The mightiest Man, in the hour of trial, can do nothing without the strength of God; and the weakest Woman can do all things, if Christ strengthen her. These truths are sufficiently exemplified in the case of Peter and all his brother disciples on the one hand; and Joseph of Arimathea and the two Marys on the other. And all this is recorded, equally to prevent both presumption and despair. Reader, let not these examples be produced before thee in vain. Next: Mark Chapter 16
