mnt - John:19:38-42

mnt@John:19:38 @ After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but in secret because of fear of the Jews, asked Pilate for permission to take the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took the body.

mnt@John:19:39 @ Nicodemus also (the one who visited Jesus by night, at first) came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing nearly a hundred pounds.

mnt@John:19:40 @ So they took the body of Jesus and wound it in linen with the spices, according to the Jewish mode of burial.

mnt@John:19:41 @ There was a garden near the place where Jesus had been crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.

mnt@John:19:42 @ Here, because of its being Preparation Day, and as the tomb was near by, they placed Jesus.
