Burial of Jesus

38

And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea--being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews--ask of Pilate, that he may 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--who came unto Jesus by night at the first--bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds.

40

They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial;

41

and there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid;

42

there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus.
