Luke 23:52 — Meaning and Application

And, behold, {there was} a man named Joseph, a counsellor; {and he was} a good man, and a just:

(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) {he was} of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

This {man} went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
