Exegesis
kai ēren {ἦλθεν … καὶ ἦρεν | ḗlthen … kaí ḗren} ‘he came and took’, presenting Joseph’s actions as a completed sequence. In translation, the participial material is reshaped into relative and descriptive clauses for clarity, and the hina purpose clause is rendered as an English “that he might” or infinitival “to” construction, preserving both the sense of request and the narrative progression.
In context — John 19:38
After these things, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus , but hidden because of fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate permitted him, so he came and took away His body.
