Matthew 27:57-60
The Burial of Jesus
When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who also was himself a disciple of Jesus. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus; then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth and laid it in his new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. He then rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away.
About the Picture
The FPCD Israel tour visited The Garden Tomb. Their website states: “The gospel accounts note a garden located near the site of crucifixion, and archaeological evidence, including an ancient winepress, suggests that the area was an agricultural garden. It is in this garden that we show our visitors the ancient tomb.”
