who was a disciple of Jesus, but for
fear of the Jews a secret disciple
asked Pilates permission to carry
away the body of Jesus; and PLATE
gave him leave. So he came and
removed the body. Nicodemus too

night-came bringing a mixture of
myrrh and aloes, in weight about sew

again from among the dead CPS xvi.
