Who put the body of Jesus of Nazereth
in the Holy Sepulchre? Who was that man?
His name was Joseph. Should Joseph lie
without a monument upon his bones?
He was from Arimathea. But where is
Arimathea? Arimathea does not appear
on any ancient map, nor is it mentioned
in any ancient text, except the Gospels.
The Gospel of Luke can only say it is a
city of the Jews. Street views of Bethlehem,
Nazareth, Cana, Capernaum, Jerusalem,
Demascus---but vague on the best
disciple--Joseph from some city of the Jews.
Is this not true, or was Jesus of Nazareth
buried by His enemies, as told in Acts 13:28-29?
Too strange to believe?
If ever thou wilt thrive, let the dead bury
the dead. Durst not resurrect carrion men.
