John 19:41

39 Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.

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

Now there was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

42 And because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus there.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
