wmth - John:19:38-42

wmth@John:19:38 @ After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but for fear of the Jews a secret disciple, asked Pilate's permission to carry away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and removed the body.

wmth@John:19:39 @ Nicodemus too –he who at first had visited Jesus by night– came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, in weight about seventy or eighty pounds.

wmth@John:19:40 @ Taking down the body they wrapped it in linen cloths along with the spices, in accordance with the Jewish mode of preparing for burial.

wmth@John:19:41 @ There was a garden at the place where Jesus had been crucified, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been buried.

wmth@John:19:42 @ Therefore, because it was the day of Preparation for the Jewish Passover, and the tomb was close at hand, they put Jesus there.
