39. Nicodemus, who at first had gone to see Jesus at night, went with Joseph, taking with him about thirty kilogrammes of spices, a mixture of myrrh and aloes.
40. The two men took Jesus' body and wrapped it in linen with the spices according to the Jewish custom of preparing a body for burial.
41. There was a garden in the place where Jesus had been put to death, and in it there was a new tomb where no one had ever been buried.
42. Since it was the day before the Sabbath and because the tomb was close by, they placed Jesus' body there.
