After his death, one of Jesus’s followers took down His body and placed it into a tomb. The tomb was sealed by a heavy stone because he, like the other disciples, thought the death of Jesus was the end of the story.

As evening approached, Joseph, a rich man from Arimathea who had become a follower of Jesus, went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. And Pilate issued an order to release it to him. Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a long sheet of clean linen cloth. He placed it in his own new tomb, which had been carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance and left.
