John 19:37-42

37 And again another Scripture says, ¹"They will look on him whom they have pierced."

Jesus Is Buried

38 ²After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly ³for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body.

39 ⁴Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus^[a] by night, came ⁵bringing a mixture of ⁶myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds^[b] in weight.

40 So they took the body of Jesus and ⁷bound it in ⁸linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a ⁹garden, and ¹⁰in the garden a new tomb ¹¹in which no one had yet been laid.

42 So because of the Jewish ¹²day of Preparation, ¹³since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
