The Burial of Jesus

38 Afterward Joseph of Arimathea, who had been a secret disciple of Jesus (because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate for permission to take Jesus' body down. When Pilate gave him permission, he came and took the body away.
39 Nicodemus, the man who had come to Jesus at night, also came, bringing about seventy-five pounds[7][Greek 100 litras [32.7 kilograms].] of embalming ointment made from myrrh and aloes.
40 Together they wrapped Jesus' body in a long linen cloth with the spices, as is the Jewish custom of burial.
41 The place of crucifixion was near a garden, where there was a new tomb, never used before.
42 And so, because it was the day of preparation before the Passover and since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
