^(au)And a man named Joseph, who was a ^(av)member of the Council, a good and righteous man

(he had not consented to their plan and action), a man from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was ^(aw)waiting for the kingdom of God;

this man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

And he took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever lain.

It was ^(ax)the ^[w]preparation day, and the Sabbath was about to ^[x]begin.

Now ^(ay)the women who had come with Him out of Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how His body was laid.

Then they returned and ^(az)prepared spices and perfumes. And ^(ba)on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
