John 19:39 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The history of Nicodemus coming by night to our Saviour, and of their discourse together, we had 1 Thessalonians 3:1-21. We again heard of him standing up for Christ in the sanhedrim, 1 Thessalonians 7:50. We read no more of him till now, where he shows his love to his dead body; bringing a hundred pounds weight of myrrh and aloes, which were both of them drugs used in embalming dead bodies, as also in perfuming other things, Psalms 45:8.

John 19:39

39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
