John 19:40 in Context — John 19

38 Après cela, Joseph d’Arimathée, qui était disciple de Jésus, mais en secret par crainte des Juifs, demanda à Pilate la permission de prendre le corps de Jésus. Et Pilate le permit. Il vint donc, et prit le corps de Jésus.

39 Nicodème, qui auparavant était allé de nuit vers Jésus, vint aussi, apportant un mélange d’environ cent livres de myrrhe et d’aloès.

40 Ils prirent donc le corps de Jésus, et l’enveloppèrent de bandes, avec les aromates, comme c’est la coutume d’ensevelir chez les Juifs.

41 Or, il y avait un jardin dans le lieu où Jésus avait été crucifié, et dans le jardin un sépulcre neuf, où personne encore n’avait été mis.

42 Ce fut là qu’ils déposèrent Jésus, à cause de la préparation des Juifs, parce que le sépulcre était proche.
