Men of the Bible: Joseph of Arimathea by ric gustafson
According to the Gospel of Luke, Joseph of Arimathea was a member of the Jewish high council. According to Luke 23, he was a good and righteous man. In secret, he followed Jesus out of fear. He was concerned about the reactions of his fellow council members.
Pilate had already condemned Jesus to die. With courage, Joseph approached Pilate. He asked permission to remove Jesus from his cross so that he could be buried. He was granted permission.
Joseph and Nicodemus prepared Jesus's body. Joseph supplied the tomb. Joseph rolled a large stone in front of the tomb to protect it from vandals and grave robbers.
Joseph of Arimathea was a man of the Bible.
