JosephOf Arimathea, buried Jesus in his own tomb
பற்றி · About
Joseph of Arimathea was a wealthy and prominent member of the Jewish council (Mat.27.57; Mrk.15.43). He was a disciple of Jesus but secretly out of fear of the Jewish leaders (Jhn.19.38). Joseph is described as a good and righteous man who had not consented to the council's decision to condemn Jesus (Luk.23.50-51). After Jesus' crucifixion, Joseph boldly asked Pilate for Jesus' body (Mrk.15.43; Jhn.19.38). He took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and placed it in his own new tomb, which had been cut out of rock (Mat.27.59-60; Mrk.15.46; Luk.23.53). The tomb was then sealed with a large stone (Mat.27.60). Joseph's actions fulfilled the prophecy that the Messiah would be buried with the rich (Isa.53.9). His selfless act provided a proper burial for Jesus and demonstrated his devotion and respect for the Lord.
