When was Jesus wrapped in linen cloth?

The binding of Jesus' body was described in the Book of John, chapter 19, verses 38-40 (Holman Christian Standard Version): After this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus—but secretly because of his fear of the Jews—asked Pilate that he might remove Jesus' body. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and took His body away. Nicodemus (who had previously come to Him at night) also came, bringing a mixture of about 75 pounds of myrrh and aloes. Then they took Jesus' body and wrapped it in linen cloths with the aromatic spices, according to the burial custom of the Jews.

What was the Magi's gift to baby Jesus worth?

Gold was probably worth the same or more then it does now, but the frankincense and myrrh probably reached its peak price during the time Jesus was around. Frankincense would have cost $500 per pound and myrrh would have cost $4,000 per pound.

What became of the pharisee Nicodemus after Jesus' death and resurrection?

After the meeting between Jesus and Nicodemus at night. Nothing else is mentioned in the bible.Another answer:Nicodemus is mentioned twice more after his clandestine meeting with Jesus (John 7:50 and John 19:39), but scripture doesn't reveal what "became" of him after Jesus' resurrection. He is last seen providing the "myrrh and aloes" with which to treat Jesus' body for burial.

Was there a woman who wanted to help embalm Jesus?

John 19:38-42 NIV: 38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate's permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.[c] 40 Taking Jesus' body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. 41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. 42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

Who is Nicodemus from The Bible?

Nicodemus was a cautious Pharisee who displayed faith in Jesus, but didn't want to be seen with Him. "...the same came to Jesus by night..." (John 3:2). During the arrest of Jesus, Nicodemus was only one who seeing unlawful treatment had to remind the others of a fair hearing under the law (John 7:45-52). In fact, we are informed that it was "two Pharisees," Joseph of Arimathaea and Nicodemus, who laid Jesus in the tomb (Joseph's own unused tomb). "Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate's permission, he came and took the body away. He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds. Taking Jesus' body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there." (John 19:38-42) "...there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: he went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed." (Matt.27:57-60) These separate accounts speak of the same event, both omitting some details that the other provides. Matthew informs us that the tomb was Joseph's, and makes it sound like he buried Jesus alone. John, on the other hand, doesn't mention whose tomb it was... but tells us that Nicodemus assisted Joseph.

So he came and took the body of Jesus. And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.
