(Lesson 4581)(08-19-24) John 19:38-42
“And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.”
Today’s quote tells us that after Jesus' death, Joseph of Arimathea, a secret disciple of Jesus, asked Pilate for permission to take Jesus' body for burial. Pilate granted his request, and Joseph, along with Nicodemus, who had earlier visited Jesus at night, prepared the body for burial. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, and they wrapped Jesus' body in linen with the spices, following Jewish burial customs. They placed Jesus' body in a new tomb located nearby, where no one had ever been lain before.~
