After this ,
Joseph ,
the Arimathean ,
who was a disciple of Jesus ,
but a concealed disciple for fear of the Jews ,
asked permission of Pilate to take away the body of Jesus .
*
Nicodemus also ,
who had formerly repaired to Jesus by night ,
came ,
and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes ,
weighing about a hundred pounds .
*
These men took the body of Jesus ,
and wound it in linen rollers ,
with the spices ,
which is the Jewish manner of embalming .
*
Now ,
in the place where he was crucified ,
there was a garden ,
and in the garden a new tomb ,
wherein no one had ever yet been laid .
*
There they deposited Jesus ,
on account of the Jewish preparation ,
the tomb being near .
