John 19:38-40
World English Bible
38 After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body. 39 Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.[a] 40 So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
