Read in context

John 19:36–40 · Berean Standard Bible

36 Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken.”

37 And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”

38 Afterward, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and removed His body.

39 Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.

40 So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.
