Embalming: How Performed by the Jews

And he was buried in the tomb that he had cut out for himself in the City of David. They laid him on a bier that was full of spices and various blended perfumes; then they made a great fire in his honor.

Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.

So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.
