What is said in regard to wrapping the body of Jesus by Joseph?
Mark: “He bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen” ([xv, 46]).
This statement is rejected by critics. A member of the Sanhedrim would not desecrate the Passover by making a purchase on it.

What was the amount of the material used in embalming Jesus?
John: A hundred pounds ([xix, 39]).
This was sufficient to embalm a dozen bodies. Yet after seeing his body literally buried in the material, the women, we are told, procured more.
