3: Nicodemus, who had at first come to Jesus by night, also came,
bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing about a hundred
pounds.
1: They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it with the spices in
linen cloths, according to the burial custom of the Jews.

and in the garden there was a new tomb in which no one had ever

tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
