⁵² This man went to Pilate and made a request for the body of Jesus.

³⁸ After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, made a request to Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate said he might do so. So he went and took away his body.

³⁹ And Nicodemus came (he who had first come to Jesus by night) with a roll of myrrh and aloes mixed, about a hundred pounds.

⁴⁰ Then they took the body of Jesus, folding linen about it with the spices, as is the way of the Jews when they put the dead to rest.

⁴¹ Now there was a garden near the cross, and in the garden a new place for the dead in which no man had ever been put.

⁴² So they put Jesus there, because it was the Jews' day of getting ready for the Passover, and the place was near.
