John 19:39-42

39 ¹Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus^[a] by night, came ²bringing a mixture of ³myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds^[b] in weight.

40 So they took the body of Jesus and ⁴bound it in ⁵linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a ⁶garden, and ⁷in the garden a new tomb ⁸in which no one had yet been laid.

42 So because of the Jewish ⁹day of Preparation, ¹⁰since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
