7:48 None of the rulers
or the Pharisees have believed in him, have they?
7:49 But this rabble
who do not know the law are accursed!”
7:50 Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before and who was one of the rulers, said,
7:51 “Our law doesn’t condemn a man unless it first hears from him and learns what he is doing, does it?”
7:52 They replied, “You aren’t from Galilee too, are you? Investigate carefully and you will see that no prophet comes from Galilee!”
John 19:38-42
Jesus’ Burial
19:38 After this, Joseph of Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus (but secretly, because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he went and took the body away.
19:39 Nicodemus, the man who had previously come to Jesus at night, accompanied Joseph, carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about seventy-five pounds.
19:40 Then they took Jesus’ body and wrapped it, with the aromatic spices, in strips of linen cloth according to Jewish burial customs.
19:41 Now at the place where Jesus was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden was a new tomb where no one had yet been buried.
19:42 And so, because it was the Jewish day of preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus’ body there.
