Bible: Jn 19:38-42  Jesus’ Burial  19:38 After this, Joseph of
Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus (but secretly, because he feared
the Jewish leaders 1 ), 2  asked Pilate if he could remove the
body of Jesus. Pilate 3  gave him permission, so he went and
took the body away. 4  19:39 Nicodemus, the man who had
previously come to Jesus 5  at night, 6  accompanied Joseph, 7 
carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes 8  weighing about seventy-
five pounds. 9  19:40 Then they took Jesusbody and wrapped it,
with the aromatic spices, 10  in strips of linen cloth 11 
according to Jewish burial customs. 12  19:41 Now at the place
where Jesus 13  was crucified 14  there was a garden, 15  and in
the garden 16  was a new tomb where no one had yet been buried.
17  19:42 And so, because it was the Jewish day of preparation
18  and the tomb was nearby, 19  they placed Jesusbody there.
