The man who offerred his tomb and took on the responsibilities of the father of the deceased is simply known to us as Joseph. The gospels say that he came from a town or locality called Arimathea, thus Joseph of Arimathea.

Arimathea ought to be close enough to Jerusalem that Joseph would purchase a tomb in Jerusalem and plan for his body to be taken there after his death, but no city, town or village called Arimathea has ever been identified, and it is worth looking at other possible explanations for the name. Peter Kirby points out in the Journal of Higher Criticism that Arimathea can be read in Greek as 'best disciple town', which was a surprisingly appropriate reference for the man who took a great risk to look after Jesus, when all others had deserted him. If Arimathea was an invented name, then Joseph probably did not exist, raising questions about this part of the narrative of the death of Jesus.

Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy disciple of Jesus, offered his own newly hewn tomb for Jesus' burial. He placed Jesus' body in the tomb after the crucifixion.

Jesus was the one who borrowed it. He didn't need to keep it because he rose from the dead. So he only borrowed it for a few days and then gave it back to Joseph of Arimathaea.
