What do you think might have led Joseph of Arimathaea to be a disciple of Jesus?
I think he believed Jesus in his heart but was not dare to speak it out might be because he is rich. And also truly to fulfill the scripture.

Why did the Pharisees call Jesus a deceiver?
They said this be/cos what they expected to happen while Jesus betrayed and punished on the cross is not what they saw.Be/cos this, gave them more courage to call Jesus all sort of names they like, without knowing that it has been written to pass like that.

What do you think might have led Joseph of Arimathaea to be a disciple of Jesus?
I think Joseph of Arimahea was a rich and devouted jew, who might have been following and believing in the teachings of Jesus. There were many people who followed Jesus wherever he went, seeng hs miracles and believing in his messianic roles, and not only the twelve apostles. On pentecost day, there were 120 people in the room. Joseph could have been one of the numbers. This, anyway is my guess.

Joseph of Arimathaea was led to be a disciple of Jesus because he believed in Jesus and he was led by the holy spirit, he saw the good works the Lord had done for him and other, and to show his love for him he became a disiciple of Jesus. He expressed this love by going to Pilate, and asking for Jesus` body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up. Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb,

Why did the Pharisees call Jesus a deceiver?
Because it has never occured to them that someone died and rise again. So, it will be look stupid or foolish for them to have been told that Jesus rose in the third day.

Josephy of Arimathaea knew that his riches cannot take him to heaven but only the blood of JesusÂ. He also knew that Pilate would release the body of Jesus because at this point in time the body of Jesus was now useless to themÂ. Pilate thought that after giving the body to JosephÂ, Joseph will share his riches to himÂ. HoweverÂ, Joseph felt sorry with Jesus because Jesus was innocent and this is why he laid Jesus on his new tombÂ. Joseph followed Jesus because of the might works Jesus did on earthÂ. Amen!!!!

I think he had Jesus into his home at some time or other and possibly witnessed one of the many miracles that Jesus performed...or he simply listened to Jesus teach...

Jesus did not confirm to the workings of their class. He opposed their shallow worship and called them sinners. They held onto their traditions and rejected the Word and fell into the trap of religion.

Joseph of Arimathaea was a beleiver i Jesus. He shared many moments with Jesus but was not an open follower of Jesus. Because of his status and the conflicts with the leaders in the Jewish Society, Joseph worshiped Jesus in secret. When Jesus was dead he reasoned that it was not dangerous to act in love because the threat was nullified.

The Burial of Jesus

When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus' disciple came. This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus' body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up. Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed. Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
