Jesus Is Buried

^38 (A)After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly ^(B)for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body.

^39 (A)Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus^[a] by night, came ^(B)bringing a mixture of ^(C)myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds^[b] in weight.

⁴⁰ So they took the body of Jesus and ^(A)bound it in ^(B)linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

⁴¹ Now in the place where he was crucified there was a ^(A)garden, and ^(B)in the garden a new tomb ^(C)in which no one had yet been laid.

⁴² So because of the Jewish ^(A)day of Preparation, ^(B)since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
