John 19:39-42

39With him came Nicodemus, the man who had come to Jesus at night. He brought about seventy-five pounds of perfumed ointment made from myrrh and aloes.

40Following Jewish burial custom, they wrapped Jesus’ body with the spices in long sheets of linen cloth.

41The place of crucifixion was near a garden, where there was a new tomb, never used before.

42And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover and since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
