19:38 After this, Joseph of Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus (but secretly, because he feared the Jewish leaders ¹ ), ²  asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. Pilate ³  gave him permission, so he went and took the body away. ⁴  19:39 Nicodemus, the man who had previously come to Jesus ⁵  at night, ⁶  accompanied Joseph, ⁷  carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes ⁸  weighing about seventy-five pounds. ⁹  19:40 Then they took Jesus’ body and wrapped it, with the aromatic spices, ¹⁰  in strips of linen cloth ¹¹  according to Jewish burial customs. ¹²  19:41 Now at the place where Jesus ¹³  was crucified ¹⁴  there was a garden, ¹⁵  and in the garden ¹⁶  was a new tomb where no one had yet been buried. ¹⁷  19:42 And so, because it was the Jewish day of preparation ¹⁸  and the tomb was nearby, ¹⁹  they placed Jesus’ body there.
