In context

⁴¹These women had followed Jesus and ministered to Him while He was in Galilee, and there were many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with Him.

⁴²Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

⁴³Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent Council member who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God, boldly went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

⁴⁴Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

⁴⁵When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
