Jesus Is Buried

^38 (A)Now after these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but ^(B)secretly because of his ^(C)fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body. ^39 (D)And Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, ^(E)bringing a ^[a]mixture of ^(F)myrrh and aloes, weighing about ^[b]one ^(G)hundred litras. ⁴⁰ So they took the body of Jesus and ^(H)bound it in ^(I)linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. ⁴¹ Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a ^(J)new tomb ^(K)in which no one had yet been laid. ⁴² Therefore because of the Jewish day of ^(L)Preparation, since the tomb was ^(M)nearby, they laid Jesus there.
