39. Nicodemus, the one who at first had come to Jesus at night, was there too. He brought a mixture of myrrh and aloe, nearly seventy-five pounds in all.
40. Following Jewish burial customs, they took Jesus’ body and wrapped it, with the spices, in linen cloths.
41. There was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified, and in the garden was a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.
42. Because it was the Jewish Preparation Day and the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus in it.
