22 “If a man commits a sin deserving the sentence of death and he has been put to death+ and you have hung him on a stake,+ 23 his dead body should not remain all night on the stake.+ Instead, you should be sure to bury him on that day, because the one hung up is something accursed of God,+ and you should not defile your land that Jehovah your God is giving you as an inheritance.+

57 Now as it was late in the afternoon, a rich man of Ar·i·ma·theʹa came, named Joseph, who had also become a disciple of Jesus.+ 58 This man approached Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.+ Then Pilate commanded that it be given to him.+ 59 Joseph took the body, wrapped it up in clean, fine linen,+ 60 and laid it in his new tomb,*+ which he had quarried in the rock. And after rolling a big stone to the entrance of the tomb,* he left.

43 there came Joseph of Ar·i·ma·theʹa, a reputable member of the Council, who also himself was waiting for the Kingdom of God. He took courage and went in before Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.+ 44 But Pilate wondered whether he could already be dead, and summoning the army officer, he asked him whether Jesus had already died. 45 So after making certain from the army officer, he granted the body to Joseph. 46 After he bought fine linen and took him down, he wrapped him in the fine linen and laid him in a tomb*+ that was quarried out of rock; then he rolled a stone up to the entrance of the tomb.+
