And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
Men Josef fra Arimathæa, som var en Jesu Discipel, dog lønligt, af Frygt for Jøderne, bad derefter Pilatus om, at han måtte tage Jesu Legeme, og Pilatus tillod det. Da kom han og tog Jesu Legeme.
