SCRIPTURE

"So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury." — John 19:40 (ASV)

And wound it in linen clothes with the spices.—Compare Notes on Luke 24:12. The same word does not occur, but the Jewish manner of burial has also been illustrated in the Note on John 11:44.
