John 19:37-42

³⁷And there is another passage which says — ‘They will look on him whom they pierced.’

³⁸After this, Joseph of Ramah, a disciple of Jesus — but a secret one, owing to his fear of the religious authorities — begged Pilate's permission to remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him leave; so Joseph went and removed the body.

³⁹Nicodemus, too — the man who had formerly visited Jesus by night — came with a roll of myrrh and aloes, weighing nearly a hundred pounds.

⁴⁰They took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen with the spices, according to the Jewish mode of burial.

⁴¹At the place where Jesus had been crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a newly made tomb in which no one had ever been laid.

⁴²And so, because of its being the Preparation day, and as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
