John 19:38-40

38 ¹After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a ²secret one for ³fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body.

39 ⁴Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, ⁵bringing a mixture of ⁶myrrh and aloes, about a ⁷hundred pounds weight.

40 So they took the body of Jesus and ⁸bound it in ⁹linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.
