36 For these things happened, that the scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of him will not be broken."
37 Again another scripture says, "They will look on him whom they pierced."
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 also came, he who at first came to Jesus by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.
40 So they took Jesus` body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid.
42 Then because of the Jews` Preparation (for the tomb was near at hand) they laid Jesus there.
