And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound [weight].

40

Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.

42

There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation [day] for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
