John 19:39

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

Richardson also supposed that the purpose of citing the participation of Nicodemus was that of introducing "independent evidence - that, perhaps, of a Sanhedrin member - of the fact that Jesus REALLY died, as against Gnostic theories of resuscitation and Jewish accusations of fraud on the part of the disciples."[22]

For more on Nicodemus, see under John 3:1.
