John 19:38

Verse 38

The friends of Jesus, and his entombment, John 19:38-42.

38. After this Joseph of Arimathea The foes have gone into the background, and Jesus is now with his friends for evermore. No apostle appears present at the embalmment or entombment; but one whose name is hitherto unmentioned, and would be forever unmentioned, but for this act, steps forward. So for the just man Providence ever raises new friends. And so may the weakest faith grow strong and take its proper post at the required hour. See note on Matthew 27:57-61.
