* After this , Joseph of Arimathea , being a disciple of Jesus , but secretly , for fear of the Jews , asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus ; and Pilate gave him permission . So he came and took the body of Jesus . * And Nicodemus , who at first came to Jesus by night , also came , bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes , about a hundred pounds . * Then they took the body of Jesus , and bound it in strips of linen with the spices , as the custom of the Jews is to bury . * Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden , and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid . * So there they laid Jesus , because of the Jews ' Preparation Day , for the tomb was nearby .
