* And after this Joseph of Arimathaea , being a disciple of Jesus , but secretly for fear of the Jews , besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus : and Pilate gave him leave . He came therefore , and took the body of Jesus . * And there came also Nicodemus , which at the first came to Jesus by night , and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes , about an hundred pound weight . * Then took they the body of Jesus , and wound it in linen clothes with the spices , as the manner of the Jews is to bury . * Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden ; and in the garden a new sepulchre , wherein was never man yet laid . * There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews ' preparation day ; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand .
