OUR FATHER WHO GAVE HIS ONLY SON TO DIE FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD

Matthew chapter 27 verses 57 - 61 records the burial of Jesus;

57 Now when evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. 58 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him. 59 When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed. 61 And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

Joseph of Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus took on the responsibility of burying the Lordˋs body and he requested permission from Pilate to take the body. 

Once granted, Joseph went to cross that Jesus was on and took it down and wrapped it in clean linen. He had a new tomb that he had cut into bedrock for himself and he laid Jesusˋ body in it and rolled a large stone over the entryway to the tomb. Mary Magdalene and another Mary were there during the placement of Jesusˋ body and as such, knew which tomb it was when they would come later to visit the tomb.

Have mercy on us O God.
