Mark 15:42-44

Darby Translation

⁴² And when it was already evening, since it was [the] preparation, that is, [the day] before a sabbath,

⁴³ Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable councillor, who also himself was awaiting the kingdom of God, coming, emboldened himself and went in to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus.

⁴⁴ And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and having called to [him] the centurion, he inquired of him if he had long died.
