Joseph died at the age of 110. They embalmed him and placed him in a coffin in Egypt.

He was buried in his own tomb that he had hewn out for himself in the city of David. They laid him out in a coffin that was full of spices and various mixtures of prepared ointments; then they made a great fire in his honor.

By pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she has prepared Me for burial.

She has done what she could; she has anointed My body in advance for burial.

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so they could go and anoint Him.

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

Jesus answered, "Leave her alone; she has kept it for the day of My burial.

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.
