AnswerThe gospels are in agreement that a person called Joseph of Arimathea asked Herod for the body of Jesus. However, there is no agreement that Joseph was actually a disciple, rather than a pious Jew for whom it was necessary to end the crucifixion before the start of the Passover.

Mark's Gospel says that Joseph was an honourable counsellor and makes no suggestion that he was a disciple of Jesus. Matthew's Gospel says that Joseph was a rich man and a disciple of Jesus. Luke's Gospel says that Joseph was a counsellor and a good man from the city of Arimathea but, like Mark, does not say that he was a disciple. John's Gospel says that Joseph was a disciple of Jesus. The location of the city of Arimathea has not been established.
