Luke 23:51 in Context — Luke 23

49 Tous ceux de la connaissance de Jésus, et les femmes qui l’avaient accompagné depuis la Galilée, se tenaient dans l’éloignement et regardaient ce qui se passait.

50 Il y avait un conseiller, nommé Joseph, homme bon et juste,

51 qui n’avait point participé à la décision et aux actes des autres; il était d’Arimathée, ville des Juifs, et il attendait le royaume de Dieu.

52 Cet homme se rendit vers Pilate, et demanda le corps de Jésus.

53 Il le descendit de la croix, l’enveloppa d’un linceul, et le déposa dans un sépulcre taillé dans le roc, où personne n’avait encore été mis.
