38 after this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but for fear of the Jews a conceal'd one, pray'd Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave: so he went and took the body of Jesus. 39 Nicodemus, who formerly went to Jesus by night, came likewise and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. 40 they took therefore the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, according to the manner of burial among the Jews. 41 now near the place where he was crucified, there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, in which no body had ever yet been laid. 42 as this sepulchre was nigh at hand, they laid Jesus therein, because the time of the preparation of the Jews was expiring.
