Names of God Bible
Jesus Is Placed in a Tomb(A)
38 Later Joseph from the city of Arimathea asked Pilate to let him remove Yeshua’s body. (Joseph was a disciple of Yeshua but secretly because he was afraid of the Jews). Pilate gave him permission to remove Yeshua’s body. So Joseph removed it. 39 Nicodemus, the one who had first come to Yeshua at night, went with Joseph and brought 75 pounds of a myrrh and aloe mixture.
40 These two men took the body of Yeshua and bound it with strips of linen. They laced the strips with spices. This was the Jewish custom for burial.

The Burial of Jesus(A)
38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders.(B) With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus,(C) the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.[a] 40 Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen.(D) This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.(E)
