Burial of Jesus

38

And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea (because he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews), besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave leave. He came therefore and took away the body of Jesus.

39

And Nicodemus also came (he who at the first came to Jesus by night), bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.

40

They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

41

Now there was in the place where he was crucified a garden: and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no man yet had been laid.

42

There, therefore, because of the parasceve of the Jews, they laid Jesus: because the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
