Arimathea named Joseph

Jesus made the claim that he "came to seek and save the lost sheep of Israel". After his resurrection, he told his followers to "make disciples of all the nations".
Christianity believes that Jesus is the Messiah AND that he came in order to save mankind from their sins. Islam believes that Jesus is the Messiah BUT does not claim that he came to absolve people's sins.
There was a rush to bury Jesus because the authorities did not want his followers to take his body and claim he was resurrected. He was securely buried, but his body was nowhere to be found, nonetheless.
Actually no body was there, but peter came later to the tomb.
John 19:38 - After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus.[NKJV]
A discussion and explanation of Jesus claim that if you believe in him you will never die.
When Jesus came riding on a colt on palm Sunday , it means that he came humbly into the city. In the Roman period if Jesus or for that matter any body came riding on a horse it would mean he has come for a war on his horse.
It appears that a couple of Pharisees named Joseph and Nicodemus buried Jesus in Joseph's newly excavated sepulchre that was conveniently near the site of Jesus' murder: "...Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night... then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices... now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre... there laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jew's preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand." (John 19:38-42)
According to New Testament scripture, the answer is Yes.Matthew 28:18 - And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth." [NKJV]
