THE MESSAGE
There was a man by the name of Joseph, a member of the Jewish High Council, a man of good heart and good character. He had not gone along with the plans and actions of the council. His hometown was the Jewish village of Arimathea. He lived in alert expectation of the kingdom of God. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Taking him down, he wrapped him in a linen shroud and placed him in a tomb chiseled into the rock, a tomb never yet used. It was the day before Sabbath, the Sabbath just about to begin.

Contextual Overview
50 And, behold, a man named Joseph, being a councillor, a good and righteous man. 51 This one was not assenting to their counsel and deed (he was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews), and who himself was eagerly expecting the kingdom of God, 52 coming near to Pilate, this one asked for the body of Jesus. 53 And taking it down, he wrapped it in linen, and placed it in a quarried tomb, where no one was ever yet laid. 54 And it was Preparation Day, and a sabbath was coming on. 55 And having followed, also the women who were accompanying Him out of Galilee, watched the tomb, and how His body was placed. 56 And returning, they prepared spices and ointment. And indeed they rested on the sabbath, according to the commandment.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And behold, there was a man named Joseph,....
:-.
a counsellor; Mark says, he was an "honourable" one; he was either one of the council of the high priest, or a member of the great sanhedrim; :-.
and he was a good man, and a just; he was kind and beneficent in his temper, and just, and righteous in his life and actions; a like character is given of Joseph the husband of Mary, the mother of our Lord, Matthew 1:19.
