John 19:36-42

New International Version

³⁶ These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled:^(A) “Not one of his bones will be broken,”^{[a](B) 37} and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”^[b](C)

The Burial of Jesus^(D)

³⁸ Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders.^(E) With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. ³⁹ He was accompanied by Nicodemus,^(F) the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.^{[c] 40} Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen.^(G) This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.^{(H) 41} At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. ⁴² Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation^(I) and since the tomb was nearby,^(J) they laid Jesus there.
