- John 19:38-42 After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body. Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds. So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid. Then because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand) they laid Jesus there.

52. went unto Pilate, and bogged the body of Jesus] This was a bold, and might even have proved to be a perilous request. Hence the ‘boldly’ (tolmesas) of Mar_15:43. Pilate seems to have granted the boon without a bribe because the Jewish care for burial was well known (Mat_14:12; Act_8:2; Jos. B. J. iv. 5, § 2), and was indeed a part of their Law (Deu_21:23). For the surprise of Pilate at the rapid death of Jesus, and his enquiry about it from the centurion, and other details, see Mar_15:44.

23:52 He went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body: The Romans used crucifixion as a public warning against revolt, so they did not generally allow a victim to be buried. Instead, they left the body exposed or rotting on the cross. An exception was made in this case, probably because Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent and because of Joseph’s position of prestige on the Jewish high council.
