  35. THE BURIAL OF JESUS | Matthew 27:57-61

    SUMMARY
    On the evening of Jesus' death, a rich man from Arimathea arrived. His name was Joseph, and he was a disciple of Jesus. Joseph went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. He took the body, wrapped it in a new linen sheet and placed it in his own tomb, which he had just recently dug out of solid rock. Then he rolled a large stone across the entrance and went away. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there, facing the tomb.

    UNDERSTANDING THE TEXT
    If no-one claimed the body of a crucifixion victim, it would be thrown in a common burial pit. Matthew describes Joseph as a “rich man” and also a “disciple” of Jesus. Many people believe that he could have been a member of the Sanhedrin and a quiet supporter of Jesus.

    The burial custom in Jesus’ day was for a body to be anointed with spices and wrapped in a cloth. It would then be placed in a tomb or cave and the entrance would be sealed.

    L'ENTERREMENT DE JÉSUS | Matthieu 27 : 57-61

    RÉSUMÉ
    Le soir de la mort de Jésus, un homme riche de Arimathie arrivé. Son nom était Joseph et il était disciple de Jésus. Joseph est allé voir Pilate et a demandé le corps de Jésus. Il prit le corps, l'enveloppa dans un nouveau drap de lin et le plaça dans son propre tombeau, qu'il venait tout juste de creuser dans la roche solide. Puis il fit rouler une grosse pierre devant l'entrée et s'en alla. Marie-Madeleine et l'autre Marie étaient assises là, face au tombeau.

    COMPRENDRE LE TEXTE
    Si personne ne réclamait le corps d’une victime de la crucifixion, il serait jeté dans une fosse commune. Matthieu décrit Joseph comme un « homme riche » et aussi un « disciple » de Jésus. Beaucoup de gens pensent qu'il aurait pu être membre du Sanhédrin et un partisan discret de Jésus.

    À l’époque de Jésus, la coutume funéraire consistait à oindre le corps d’épices et à l’envelopper dans un linge. Il serait ensuite placé dans un tombeau ou une grotte et l’entrée serait scellée.
