Now there was a Council member named Joseph The introduction of Joseph in this verse is significant. The Greek name "Ἰωσήφ" (Iōsēph) is rooted in Hebrew, meaning "He will add" or "Jehovah has added." Joseph of Arimathea is introduced as a member of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling council. This detail is crucial because it highlights the diversity of thought within the council, which was predominantly against Jesus. Joseph's presence indicates that not all Jewish leaders were opposed to Jesus, and it underscores the fulfillment of prophecy that Jesus would be buried with the rich (Isaiah 53:9). Historically, the Sanhedrin was a powerful body, and Joseph's membership suggests he was a man of influence and respect. a good and righteous man who had not consented to their decision and action He was from Arimathea a town of Judea and he was waiting for the kingdom of God Parallel Commentaries ...
