Meet Joseph of Arimathea.

Providing a burial place for Jesus.

Joseph of Arimathea: a quiet historically appropriate setting for Providing a burial place for Jesus, with simple understated contextual details; no invented dramatic event

Who was Joseph of Arimathea?

Joseph of Arimathea was a respected council member who asked Pilate for Jesus' body after the crucifixion. Mark describes him as waiting for God's kingdom. He is different from the other Josephs in this library.

Joseph arranged a burial for Jesus. His action was a practical response of care in a moment of grief and danger.
