Luke 23:52

. went unto Pilate, and bogged the body of Jesus This was a bold, and might even have proved to be a perilous request. Hence the -boldly" (tolmesas) of Mark 15:43. Pilate seems to have granted the boon without a bribe because the Jewish care for burial was well known (Matthew 14:12; Acts 8:2; Jos. B. J.iv. 5, § 2), and was indeed a part of their Law (Deuteronomy 21:23). For the surprise of Pilate at the rapid death of Jesus, and his enquiry about it from the centurion, and other details, see Mark 15:44.
