General Information:

Joseph asks Pilate for Jesus' body. These verses give us background information about who Joseph is. It may be helpful to reorder some of this information with a verse bridge, as the UDB does. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-background and rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-versebridge)

Behold, there was a man

The word "behold" alerts us to a new person in the story. Your language may have a way of doing this. Alternate translation: "There was a man who was" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-participants)

the Council

"the Jewish Council"
