*
And after these things ,
Joseph from Arimathea ,
being a disciple of Jesus ,
but concealed because of fear of the Jews ,
asked Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus .
And Pilate gave permission .
Then he came and took the body of Jesus .
*
And Nicodemus also came ,
the one coming at first to Jesus by night ,
bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes ,
about a hundred Roman pounds .
*
Then they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linens ,
with the spices ,
as is usual with the Jews in burying .
*
And there was a garden in the place where He was crucified ,
and a new tomb in the garden ,
in which no one yet ever had been placed .
*
There ,
then ,
because of the Preparation of the Jews ,
because the tomb was near ,
they put Jesus .
