Summary
The Scripture says when evening had come and since it was the day of preparation that is the day before the Sabbath, Joseph of Aramathia, a respected member of the council who was also himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to pilot and asked for the body of Jesus. The second part of verse 43 tells us that Joseph of Aramathia boldly went to pilot and asked for the body of Jesus. He would have to move quite quickly because at the beginning of verse 42 it says when evening had come that means it's four or five o'clock and then it says and since it was the day of preparation that is the day before the Sabbath. Scripture says after these things Joseph of Aramathia who was a disciple of Jesus though a secret one because of his fear of the Jews asked pilot to let him take away the body of Jesus. And Matthew chapter 27 also tells us, that when it was evening, there came a rich man from Aramathia named Joseph, and the prophetic word given to the prophet Isaiah centuries before, recorded in Isaiah 53, said of the Messiah, they made his grave with the wicked and his tomb with the rich. It is the fingerprints of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, the second member of the Trinity, going to the cross and bearing the wrath of God for sin upon himself, taking our sin upon him, the spotless sinless lamb of God, taking our sin upon him, and wiping away what we can't wipe away, wiping away all of our sin, wiping away all of our fingerprints, casting our sin as far as the east is from the west, wiping it away, every unique fingerprint of sin, for given.
