Who gave up his tomb for Jesus to be bury in?

Joseph of Arimathaea: Matthew 27:57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: Matthew 27:58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. Matthew 27:59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, Matthew 27:60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.


Did St. Joseph know Zachary father of John the Baptist?

It depends upon which Joseph. If it is Joseph, husband of the Virgin Mary, then almost certainly.We are told that Elizabeth was the wife of Zechariah (not Zachary as you suggested), and we are also told in Luke Ch 1 that Elizabeth was a 'relative' (probably a cousin) of the Virgin Mary, the wife of Joseph.In a society where family bonds were much greater than today, it is inconceivable, therefore, that Zechariah and Josepg were not known to each other.If, on the other hand, you mean Joseph of Arimathea, who provided the tomb in which Jesus was laid, and from which Jesus resurrected, then almost certainly Joseph did not know Zechariah. When John the Baptist was born Zechariah (and Elizabeth) were already very old. It is therefore certain that they did not live much after John's birth. Joseph of Arimathea does not come on the scene until Jesus was a grown man 30 years or so later, and so their paths would not have crossed. What is more, Joseph of Arimathea, though originally from Arimathea was settled in Jerusalem while John, Elizabeth and Zechariah, like Jesus, was from Galilee.

Is the asher tribe Jews?

[Supervisor note: Asher was a Jew. The accepted meaning of the word "Jew" is any adherent of Judaism, regardless of tribe. No reliable answer would claim that Kohanim and Levites (for example) aren't Jewish because they aren't specifically from Judah. Any answers which go technical based upon a particular Israelite tribe, would be misleading. Etymologically, "Jewish" stems from "Judah" only because the people of that tribe became the majority of the Jews; but Jewry has always contained members from every one of the Israelite tribes.]Asher, one of Jacob's twelve sons, was not a descendant of Judah. The word Jew didn't come about until hundreds of years after Asher's time. Asher and his brothers all believed in One God.AnswerAsher was an Israelite. "Israelite" and "Jew" are used interchangeably since the Israelites were later called Jews. It is a matter of religion, not genealogy for a specific Israelite tribe. No one today would claim the the Levites aren't Jewish. Dictionaries define Judaism as the religion of Moses. We call someone Jewish not just because of genealogical descent, but because of their beliefs and practices. "Anyone who opposes idolatry is called Jewish" (Talmud, Megillah 13a). It is in that sense of belonging to the Jewish religion that members of Israelite tribes other than Judah are called Jewish. Therefore, any attempt to go technical based upon Asher's tribe, is disingenuous and misleading.

Where was the home of Joseph who buried Jesus?

To this day, no one knows where Joseph the foster father of Jesus is buried. His tomb's location is a mystery. There is no historical record, no conclusive archaeological find, no pious traditions. It is speculated that St. Joseph died in Nazareth and may be buried somewhere in the area. There are pious assertions that St. Joseph may have, like the Blessed Virgin Mary, been assumed body and soul into heaven, however, the more common belief is that his tomb will be discovered in the end times and powerful graces will come from devotion to his patronage.
