Mt 27:58 Begged the body of Jesus. Usually, the Romans suffered the crucified to remain unburied, but Joseph, to prevent this, or any abuse of the sacred body, begged it of Pilate. The latter consented readily, probably anxious for respect for the body of him whom he vainly sought to save from death.
He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Iesus: then Pilate commanded the body to be deliuered.
