Jesus was crucified on Friday and finally gave up His Spirit after six hours. Then Matthew 27:57 says, “As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. 58 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. 59 Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away.”
Isaiah prophesied 700 years previously that,
“He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.” (Isaiah 53:9)
Can you imagine what was going through the minds of His disciples and loved ones on this Sabbath day?
