    38¶ And after this Joseph of Arimathæa, 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.

    39And 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.

    40Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

    41Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.

    42There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
