Mark 15:44
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.
In context
42 Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),
43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent Council member who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God, boldly went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.
44 Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.
45 When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
46 So Joseph bought a linen cloth, took down the body of Jesus, wrapped it in the cloth, and placed it in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.
