John,
Please help me understand the prophecy that says Jesus “made his grave with the wicked and rich in his death.”

Hi Wendell,
We know that Jesus was buried in the tomb of a rich man, Joseph of Arimathea. Few people had the means to pay for a burial chamber to be hewn out of rock, as Joseph did. I suppose that in that particular burial place were burial places for other rich people, also hewn out of rock, and most of those people had been wicked. That’s what I have always taken that prophecy to mean.
