MARK 15:46 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.”
So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb — the linen wrapping (sindōn, the same word as the young man's garment in 14:51), the rock-cut tomb, and the stone at the entrance establish the burial's completeness. The stone against the entrance seals the tomb — and will be the first obstacle encountered by the women in 16:3.
