Chapter 35: Death and Burial

James E. Talmage

The body was removed from the cross; and in preparing it for the tomb Joseph was assisted by Nicodemus, another member of the Sanhedrin, the same who had come to Jesus by night three years before, and who at one of the conspiracy meetings of the council had protested against the unlawful condemnation of Jesus without a hearing.i Nicodemus brought a large quantity of myrrh and aloes, about a hundredweight.
