"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life"    John 3:16    

V:  Jesus Is Buried

The Crucifixion happen on the day of preparation for the Passover, the day before the High Day Sabbath, Passover.  Because it was the day of preparation, bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath.  The Jews asked Pilate to break their legs, Jesus and the two thieves, so that they could be taken away.  The soldiers broke the legs of the two thieves.  When they came to Jesus to break his leg, they found that He was already dead so they did not break his legs.  One of the soldiers took a spear and pierced him in the side.  Out came water and blood.

After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, a disciple of Jesus went and asked Pilate for Jesus' body.  Pilot gave him permission so he took the body of Jesus.  Nicodemus brought a mixture spices, myrrh and aloes.  Joseph and Nicodemus took the body of Jesus, wrapped it in linen with the spices as was the custom of the Jews in those times. 

Jesus was buried in a new sepulchre in the garden where Jesus was crucified. 

Jesus was the Passover Lamb for Mankind.
