dby@John:19:38 @ And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, demanded of Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus: and Pilate allowed it. He came therefore and took away the body of Jesus.

dby@John:19:39 @ And Nicodemus also, who at first came to Jesus by night, came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds [weight].

dby@John:19:40 @ They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it up in linen with the spices, as it is the custom with the Jews to prepare for burial.

dby@John:19:41 @ But there was in the place where he had been crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.

dby@John:19:42 @ There therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.
