Joseph’s Service

‘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.’—Luke 23:50–53
