Context — The Burial of Jesusgenerated
Mark 15:45 describes how Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish Council, approached Pilate to request the body of Jesus after His crucifixion. Pilate, surprised that Jesus was already dead, confirmed this with the centurion before granting the request. This moment highlights the transition from Jesus' death to His burial, emphasizing Joseph's role in ensuring that Jesus received a proper burial, as seen in the following verse, Mark 15:46.

The Key Word — γνοὺς, ginōskōgenerated
The word γινώσκω (ginōskō) means to know or understand something, focusing on experiential knowledge. In this context, it indicates Pilate's recognition of the truth about Jesus' death, which was confirmed through the centurion's report.
This participle is in the second aorist active form, indicating a completed action. It emphasizes that Pilate had come to a decisive understanding of the situation before he acted.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.' The KJV uses 'knew it of the centurion,' while the ASV opts for 'learned it of the centurion.'
The translations differ primarily in how they render γνοὺς: the KJV and DBY use 'knew', while the YLT and LSV use 'having known'. For ἐδωρήσατο, the BSB and ASV use 'granted', while the KJV uses 'gave'.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in the sentence is ἐδωρήσατο, he granted. It is supported by a participial phrase γνοὺς, having known, which describes Pilate's action, and a prepositional phrase indicating the source of his knowledge.
The structure shows that the action of granting the body is contingent upon Pilate's prior knowledge, establishing a clear relationship between the two clauses.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In Mark 15:45, the Greek word γνοὺς (ginōskō), meaning "having known [it]," corresponds to the Hebrew יָדַע (yādāʿ), which conveys the idea of knowledge or awareness. This choice emphasizes Pilate's confirmation and understanding of the situation regarding Jesus' body.
The term πτῶμα (sōma), meaning "body," is used to translate the Hebrew שֶׁ֫בֶר (sheber), which can imply a breaking or fracture. This choice highlights the physicality of Jesus' death and the state of His body, underscoring the gravity of the moment.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

γινώσκω (ginosko) means to know, perceive, or understand, with a focus on experiential knowledge as opposed to mere intellectual awareness. It is used in various contexts in the New Testament, including recognizing divine truths and personal relationships, as seen in verses like Matthew 22:18 and John 17:3. The word has a rich range of meanings, including to learn, realize, and even to know carnally, as noted in Matthew 1:25.

The Greek word ἀπό (transliterated as apo) is a preposition meaning 'from' or 'away from,' typically used with the genitive case. It covers a wide range of meanings, including separation, origin, and partitive sense, as well as indicating distance in time or place. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, such as indicating motion from a place or the source of something. The entries do not show significant disagreement.

Of separation and cessation;
of motion from a place: Mt 5:29, 30 7:23, Lk 5:2 22:41, al.;
in partitive sense (M, Pr., 72, 102, 245; MM, s.v.; Bl., § 40, 2), Mt 9:16 27:21, Jo 21:10, Ac 5:2, al.; also after verbs of eating, etc.;

ἀπό, [fr. Hom. down], preposition with the Genitive, (Lat. a, ab, abs, Germ. von, ab, weg, [ef. Eng. of, off ]), Jrom, signifying now Separation, now Origin. On its use in the N.

[On the neglect of elision before words beginning with a vowel see Τὰ Proleg. p. 94; cf. W. § 5,1a.; B. p.10sq.; WH. App. p. 146.] In order to avoid repetition we forbear to cite all the examples, but refer the reader to the several verbs followed by this preposition. ἀπό, then, is used I. of Separation; and 1. of local separation, after verbs of motion fr. a place, (of departing, fleeing, removing, expelling, throwing, etc., see αἴρω, ἀπέρχομαι, ἀποτινάσσω, ἀποχωρέω, ἀφίστημι, φεύγω. etc.) : ἀπεσπάσθη ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν, Lk. xxii.41; βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word κεντυρίων (i.e., *kenturion*) refers to a centurion, a Roman officer in charge of a hundred soldiers. It appears in the New Testament, specifically in Mark 15:39, 44, and 45. The term is of Latin origin, and while some sources note variations in spelling, they all convey the same meaning.

sen-tu'-ri-un: As the name implies, hekatontarches or hekatontarchos, kenturion, Latin centurio, was the commander of a hundred men, more or less, in a Roman legion. Matthew and Luke use the Greek word while Mark prefers the Latin form, as he does in the case of other words, seeing that he wrote primarily for Roman readers. The number of centurions in a legion was 60, that being at all epochs the number of centuries, although the number varied in the cohort or speira. The ordinary duties of the centurion were to drill his men, inspect their arms, food and clothing, and to command them in the camp and in the field. Centurions were sometimes employed on detached service the conditions of which in the provinces are somewhat obscure. Men like Cornelius and Julius (Ac 10:1; 27:1) may have been separated from the legion to which they…
Centurion
A Roman officer in command of a hundred men (Mark 15:39, 44, 45). Cornelius, the first Gentile convert, was a centurion (Acts 10:1, 22). Other centurions are mentioned in Matt. 8:5, 8, 13; Luke 7:2, 6; Acts 21:32; 22:25, 26; 23:17, 23; 24:23; 27:1, 6, 11, 31, 43; 28:16. A centurion watched the crucifixion of our Lord (Matt. 27:54; Luke 23:47), and when he saw the wonders attending it, exclaimed, “Truly this man was the Son of God.” “The centurions mentioned in the New Testament are uniformly spoken of in…

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

πτῶμα (ptōma) is derived from the verb meaning 'to fall' and primarily refers to a corpse or dead body. It can also denote a ruin or misfortune in various contexts, including literature and the New Testament, where it appears in passages like Matthew 14:12 and Mark 15:45. The lexicons agree on its primary meaning as a lifeless body, with some references to its metaphorical uses.
πτῶμα, -τος, τό
(< πίπτω),
[in LXX: Jg 14:8 (מַפֶּלֶת), Jb 16:15 (14) (פֶּרֶץ), Is 51:19 (שֹׁד), Jth 8:19, Wi 4:18, al.;]
a fall, metaph., a misfortune, calamity (Trag., Plat., Polyb., al.; LXX).
That which has fallen;
of buildings, a ruin (Polyb.);
πτῶμα, -τος, τό, (πίπτω, pt. πέπτωκα); 1. in Grk. writ. fr. Aeschyl. down, a fall, downfall; metaph. a failure, defeat, calamity; an error, lapse, sin. 2. that which is fallen; hence with the gen. of a pers. or with νεκροῦ added, the (fallen) body of one dead or slain, a corpse, carcase; later also with vexpod omitted (Polyb., Sept., Philo, Joseph., Plut., Hdian.), cf. Thom. Mag. p. 765 [ed. Ritschl p. 290, 14]; Phryn. ed. Lod. p. 375; [W. 23], and so in the N. T.: Mt. xiv. 12 LT Tr WH; Mk. xv.45 LT Tr WH; Mt. xxiv. 28; τινός, Mk. vi. 29; Rev. xi. 8, 9.
πτῶμα in the NT is confined to its late sense (cf. Rutherford VP Ρ- 472f.) of ‘‘a dead body ’’: cf. the collective sing., as in Rev 118, in Sy/ 318 (= *700)"7 (B.c, 118) ἐτρέϊψ]ατο τοὺς ὑπεναντίους kal Tov Te πτώματος ἐκράτησεν Kal πο[λ]λοὺς αὐτῶν ἀπέκτεινεν. See also Aazbe/ 326° where a man guards against ἕτερον πτῶμα being placed in his family tomb. For the meaning ‘‘ruin” of a building, cf. P Oxy I. 5212 (A.D. 325) ἐκ τοῦ συμβάντος πτώματος τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ. The word is also used of ‘‘ payments” falling due as in P Eleph 114 (B.C. 223-2) ἐΐν ols ἔτε]σιν τὰ πτώματα γέγονεν, and in P Lond 357 (B.c. 146 or 135) (=I. p- 47). See further Archiv i. p. 87.

Generally speaking, the Old Testament language employs no fixed term for the human body as an entire organism in exact opposition to "soul" or "spirit." Various terms were employed, each of which denotes only one part or element of the physical nature, such as "trunk," "bones," "belly," "bowels," "reins," "flesh," these parts being used, by synecdoche, for the whole: etsem = "bone," or "skeleton," hence, "body," is found in Ex 24:10 the King James Version; La 4:7; nephesh = "living organism" (Le 21:11; Nu 6:6,7,11; 19:11,13,16; Hag 2:13); nebhelah = "a flabby thing," "carcass" (

Joseph
Remover or increaser. (1.) The elder of the two sons of Jacob by Rachel (Gen. 30:23, 24), who, on the occasion of his birth, said, “God hath taken away [Heb. ‘asaph] my reproach.” “The Lord shall add [Heb. yoseph] to me another son” (Gen. 30:24). He was a child of probably six years of age when his father returned from Haran to Canaan and took up his residence in the old patriarchal town of Hebron. “Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age,” and he “made him a long garment with sleeves” (Gen. 37:3, R.V. marg.), i.e., a garment long and full, such as was worn by the children of nobles. This seems to be the correct rendering of the words. The phrase, however, may also be…
(increase). The elder of the two sons of Jacob by Rachel. He was born in Padan-aram (Mesopotamia), probably about B.C. 1746. He is first mentioned when a youth, seventeen years old. Joseph brought the evil report of his brethren to his father, and they hated him because his father loved him more than he did them, and had shown his preference by making a dress which appears to have been a long tunic with sleeves, worn by youths and maidens of the richer class. (Genesis 37:2) He dreamed a dream foreshadowing his future power, which increased the hatred of his brethren. (Genesis 37:5-7) He was sent by his father to visit his brothers, who were tending flocks in the fields of Dothan. They resolved to kill him, but he was saved by Reuben, who persuaded the brothers to cast Joseph into…
1. The son of Jacob and his beloved Rachel, born in Mesopotamia, Ge 30:22-24, B. C. 1747. He is memorable for the wonderful providence of God, which raised him from a prison to be the grandvizier of Egypt, and made him the honored means of saving countless human lives. His history is one of the most pleasing and instructive in the Bible; and is related in language inimitably natural, simple, and touching. It is too beautiful for abridgment, and too familiar to need rehearsal. It throws much light on the superintending providence of God, as embracing all things, great and small in the perpetual unfolding of his universal plan. No narrative in the Bible more strikingly illustrates the protective and elevating power of the fear of God, and its especial value for the young. To behold this lovely image of filial piety and unwavering…
