If Christians didn’t bother covering that up, why would they obsess over how He was buried? It would make no sense to let the embarrassment of the crucifixion stand but take issue with how He was buried. I’ve mentioned in previous episodes how many of the stories the Gospel writers use to fill in narrative gaps are repackaged Old Testament stories. Had Jesus’s burial been a sheer invention, Dr. Allison believes that they would have drawn parallel after parallel with other Old Testament burial stories, such as Jacob’s, especially considering how the men who buried both Jesus and Jacob were named Joseph."
