In context
38After this, Joseph of Arimathea — a disciple of Jesus, though a secret one, for fear of the Jews — asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave permission. So he came and took the body away. 39Nicodemus, the man who had first come to Jesus by night, came too, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about a hundred pounds. 40They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the Jewish custom of burial. 41In the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb where no one had ever been laid. 42Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation, and the tomb was close by, they laid Jesus there.
