John 19:39-42

39Nicodemus, who had first come to Him at night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, [weighing] about a hundred [Roman] pounds.

40So they took Jesus’ body and bound it in linen wrappings with the fragrant spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

41Now there was a garden at the place where He was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb [cut out of solid rock] in which no one had yet been laid.

42Therefore, because of the Jewish day of Preparation, and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
