John 19:38-42

Jubilee Bible 2000

³⁸ ¶ After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being 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 him leave. He came therefore and took the body of Jesus.

³⁹ Then Nicodemus came also, who at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about one hundred pounds.

⁴⁰ And they took the body of Jesus and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as is the manner of the Jews to bury.

⁴¹ Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new sepulchre, in which no one had yet been laid.

⁴² Therefore they laid Jesus there because of the Jews’ preparation day, for the sepulchre was near.
