Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on John 19:38-40.


John 19:39

_ _ also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night — “This remark corresponds to the secrecy of Joseph’s discipleship, just noticed, and calls attention to the similarity of their previous character and conduct, and the remarkable change which had now taken place” [Webster and Wilkinson].

_ _ brought ... myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pounds weight — an immense quantity, betokening the greatness of their love, but part of it probably intended as a layer for the spot on which the body was to lie. (See 2 Chronicles 16:14) [Meyer].
