It seems odd to me that a rich man would give his tomb to jesus and then have it guarded by the romans, when the romans just crucified him. During that period the romans usually let the bodies rot on the crosses or buried criminals in common graves.
I never really thought about it before but that is a good point.
Because Joseph was a big fan and also rich and politically influential, enough so that he could ask for the body?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
