Nicodemus was there at the time. He was a member of the council, and was the same one who had earlier come to see Jesus. He said,

Nicodemus also came with about thirty kilogrammes of spices made from myrrh and aloes. This was the same Nicodemus who had visited Jesus one night.
And these people who don't know the Law are under God's curse anyway.”
