Then he came and took the body away. Nicodemus also came. It was he who first came to Jesus by night. He brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about fifty pound weight. They took Jesus' body and wrapped it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. Near the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb that had yet been laid. Because it was the preparation of the Jews, for the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there. GKJ - gkj
