When Jesus was arrested, condemned, crucified, and buried, many of His most visible followers had scattered. Yet two unexpected religious leaders stepped forward: Nicodemus, the Pharisee who first came to Jesus at night, and Joseph of Arimathea, the wealthy council member who asked Pilate for Jesus’ body. In this episode of the Cold-Case Christianity Podcast, J. Warner Wallace examines every Gospel passage involving Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea and builds the strongest biblical case on both sides of the question.
