tcent - John:19:38-42

tcent@John:19:38 @ After this Joseph of Arimathea, who was 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 away his body.

tcent@John:19:39 @ And Nicodemus, who had at first come to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

tcent@John:19:40 @ So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

tcent@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 ever been laid.

tcent@John:19:42 @ So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
