Jesus Is Buried

38aNow after these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but bsecretly because of his cfear 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. 39aAnd Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bbringing a 1mixture of cmyrrh and aloes, weighing about 2one dhundred litras. 40So they took the body of Jesus and abound it in blinen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a anew tomb bin which no one had yet been laid. 42Therefore because of the Jewish day of aPreparation, since the tomb was bnearby, they laid Jesus there.
