Joseph, a council member from Arimathea, and the converted Pharisee, Nicodemus, buried the body of Jesus. They asked permission of Pilate who had the power to grant them their desire to bury Jesus. This is seen in the New Testament Gospel of Luke (Luke 23:50 – 52). But the enormous stone that covered the tomb and sealed it off was placed there by Roman guards.
