³⁸ And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea -- being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews -- ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus,

³⁹ and Nicodemus also came -- who came unto Jesus by night at the first -- bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds.

⁴⁰ They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial;

⁴¹ and there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid;

⁴² there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus.

20 And on the first of the sabbaths, Mary the Magdalene doth come early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she seeth the stone having been taken away out of the tomb,

² she runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus was loving, and saith to them, `They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they laid him.'

³ Peter, therefore, went forth, and the other disciple, and they were coming to the tomb,

⁴ and the two were running together, and the other disciple did run forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the tomb,

⁵ and having stooped down, seeth the linen clothes lying, yet, indeed, he entered not.

⁶ Simon Peter, therefore, cometh, following him, and he entered into the tomb, and beholdeth the linen clothes lying,

⁷ and the napkin that was upon his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but apart, having been folded up, in one place;

⁸ then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe;

⁹ for not yet did they know the Writing, that it behoveth him out of the dead to rise again.
