Jesus Is Buried

38 ^aAfter these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly ^bfor 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 ^cNicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus ^{▼▼Greek him} by night, came ^ebringing a mixture of ^fmyrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds ^{▼▼Greek one hundred litras; a litra (or Roman pound) was equal to about 11 1/2 ounces or 327 grams} in weight. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and ^hbound it in ⁱlinen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a ^jgarden, and ^kin the garden a new tomb ^lin which no one had yet been laid. 42 So because of the Jewish ^mday of Preparation, ⁿsince the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
