Matius 27:57-60

Jesus’ Burial

27:57 Now ⁸  when it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus. ⁹  27:58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. ¹⁰  Then Pilate ordered that it be given to him. 27:59 Joseph ¹¹  took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, ¹²  27:60 and placed it ¹³  in his own new tomb that he had cut in the rock. ¹⁴  Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance ¹⁵  of the tomb and went away.

Kisah Para Rasul 8:2

8:2 Some ¹⁶  devout men buried Stephen and made loud lamentation ¹⁷  over him. ¹⁸ 

¹ tn Heb “the prophet.” The word “old” has been supplied in the translation to distinguish this individual from the other prophet.

² tn Heb “the man of God.”

³ tn “They” is the reading of the Hebrew text here; perhaps this is meant to include not only the old prophet but his sons (cf. v. 31).

⁴ tn Heb “by the word of the Lord.”

⁵ sn ‘Look…you.’ For the fulfillment of this prophecy see 2 Kgs 23:15-20.

⁶ tn Heb “bowed low and bowed down to.”

⁷ tn Grk “his”; the referent (John) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then.”

⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

⁹ sn Though some dispute that Joseph of Arimathea was a disciple of Jesus, his actions regarding Jesus’ burial suggest otherwise.

¹⁰ sn Asking for the body of Jesus was indeed a bold move on the part of Joseph of Arimathea, for it clearly and openly identified him with a man who had just been condemned and executed, namely, Jesus. His faith is exemplary, especially for someone who was a member of the council that handed Jesus over for crucifixion (cf. Mark 15:43, Luke 23:51). He did this because he sought to give Jesus an honorable burial.

¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

¹² tn The term σινδών (sindwn) can refer to a linen cloth used either for clothing or for burial.

¹³ tc ‡ αὐτό (auto, “it”) is found after ἔθηκεν (eqhken, “placed”) in the majority of witnesses, including many important ones, though it seems to be motivated by a need for clarification and cannot therefore easily explain the rise of the shorter reading (which is read by א L Θ Ë¹³ 33 892 pc). Regardless of which reading is original (though with a slight preference for the shorter reading), English style requires the pronoun. NA²⁷ includes αὐτό here, no doubt due to the overwhelming external attestation.

¹⁴ tn That is, cut or carved into an outcropping of natural rock, resulting in a cave-like structure (see L&N 19.25).

¹⁵ tn Or “to the door,” “against the door.”

¹⁶ tn “Some” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

¹⁷ sn Made loud lamentation. For someone who was stoned to death, lamentation was normally not allowed (m. Sanhedrin 6:6). The remark points to an unjust death.

¹⁸ tn Or “mourned greatly for him.”
