Mark 15:42-44

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴² And now when the night had come (because it was the Day of the Preparation that is before the Sabbath)

⁴³ Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable councilman, who also looked for the Kingdom of God, went in boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

⁴⁴ And Pilate was surprised that He was already dead. So, he called the centurion and asked him whether He were indeed dead.
