rkjnt - John:19:38-42

rkjnt@John:19:38 @ After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, 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. Therefore he came and took his body.

rkjnt@John:19:39 @ And Nicodemus also came, who first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds' weight.

rkjnt@John:19:40 @ They took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

rkjnt@John:19:41 @ 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.

rkjnt@John:19:42 @ Because of the Jewish day of preparation, as the tomb was near at hand, they laid Jesus there.
