Mark 15:42-47

42.이미 날이 저물었는데, 그 날은 준비일, 곧 안식일 전날이었다. 아리마대 사람인 요셉이 왔다. 43.그는 명망 있는 의회 의원이고, 하나님의 나라를 기다리는 사람인데, 이 사람이 대담하게 빌라도에게 가서, 예수의 시신을 내어 달라고 청하였다. 44.빌라도는 예수가 벌써 죽었을까 하고 의아하게 생각하여, 백부장을 불러서, 예수가 죽은 지 오래되었는지를 물어 보았다. 45.빌라도는 백부장에게 알아보고 나서, 시신을 요셉에게 내어주었다. 46.요셉은 삼베를 사 가지고 와서, 예수의 시신을 내려다가 그 삼베로 싸서, 바위를 깎아서 만든 무덤에 그를 모시고, 무덤 어귀에 돌을 굴려 막아 놓았다. 47.막달라 마리아와 요세의 어머니 마리아는, 어디에 예수의 시신이 안장되는지를 지켜 보고 있었다. 42.It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, 43.Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. 44.Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45.When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 46.So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 47.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.

Joseph was truly a disciple of Jesus and remained one as seen. He was willing and capable to organize the burial of Jesus and took good care of this matter. He was waiting for the kingdom of God, to experience the presence of God in life. I believe that he did experience the kingdom of God as he was transformed as a disciple and served Christ. He did not turn his back from Jesus after the latter had died on the cross. Rather, I think Joseph must have believed in the resurrection of Jesus and after life so that he stayed faithful.
