પિલાત આશ્ચર્ય પામ્યો કે, ‘શું તે એટલો જલદી મૃત્યુ પામ્યો હોય!’ તેણે સૂબેદારને પોતાની પાસે બોલાવીને પૂછ્યું કે, ‘ઈસુને મૃત્યુ પામ્યાને કેટલો વખત થયો?’”
हिन्दीमरकुस १५:४४
पिलातुस ने आश्चर्य किया, कि वह इतना शीघ्र मर गया; और उसने सूबेदार को बुलाकर पूछा, कि “क्या उसको मरे हुए देर हुई?”

In context

42When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

43Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for God’s Kingdom, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.

44Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.

45When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
