Matthew 27:59
57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.
58 He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.
So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut into the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance to the tomb and went away.
61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
