VERSE (60) -
Isa 53:9

SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:60

y lo puso en su sepulcro nuevo, que había labrado en la pea; y revuelta una grande piedra a la puerta del sepulcro, se fue.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:60

Verse 60. Laid it in his own new
tomb] To all human appearance the body of Christ must have had the same burial- place with those of the two robbers, as he was numbered with the transgressors, and suffered with them; for then he was a sacrifice, bearing the sin of the world in his own body on the tree; but now the sacrifice is offered, the atonement made and accepted, he is no longer to be enrolled with the transgressors, and, according to a prophecy delivered nearly seven hundred years before that time, he is to have the burying-place of a rich man. See Isa. liii. 9, 10. Had our Lord been buried in the common burial-ground of the malefactors, his resurrection could not have been so distinctly remarked, as the chief priests would never have thought of sealing the stone there, or setting a watch; but now that the body is got into the hands of a friend, they judge it necessary to make use of these precautions, in order, as they said, to prevent imposture; and from this very circumstance the resurrection of Christ had its fullest evidence, and was put beyond the power of successful contradiction. What a number of objections would not human prudence have made to Joseph's conduct, had he consulted it on this occasion! It would have represented to him that, "this was to expose himself, to bring himself into trouble, to render himself suspected, to put himself out of all capacity of doing good, to ruin himself irrecoverably; and now it could do no good to his teacher-he is now dead, and needs no longer any office of kindness from men." There is, sometimes in our whole life, but one opportunity in which God designs signally to employ us; and, through our general backwardness to every good work, we are for reserving ourselves to other opportunities, in which God neither requires nor will accept our services.

Rolled a great stone to the door] Some are of opinion that this tomb was cut down into the rock, perpendicularly from the surface; and that the great stone spoken of here covered over the entrance to it. The stone, no doubt, was intended to secure the place as much as possible.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 60. And laid it in his own new tomb , etc.] Christ was laid not in his own, but in anothers tomb; for as in his lifetime he had not where to lay his head; so when he was dead, he had no sepulchre of his own to put his body in: and moreover, this shows that as he was born for others, and suffered and died not for himself, but them; so he was buried for them, as well as rose again for their justification: and it was a new tomb in which he was laid, in which none had been laid before; and was so ordered by providence, for the confirmation of the truth of his resurrection; for had another body been laid there, it might have been said that it was that, and not his that was raised. The Jews distinguish between a new grave, and an old grave f1725 : a new grave may be measured, and sold, and divided; an old one may not be measured, nor sold, nor divided: there is a new grave, which is as an old one; and an old one, which is as a new one; an old grave, in which are ten dead bodies, which is not in the power of the owners, lo! this is as a new grave.

Which he had hewn out in the rock; it was usual with the Jews to make their sepulchres in rocks: in the midst (of the court of the sepulchre, they say f1726 ) two caves are opened, one on one side, and the other on the other; R. Simeon says, four on the four sides; Rabban Simeon ben Gamaliel says, all are [lsh ypl , according to the rock; i.e. according to the nature of the rock, out of which the sepulchre is hewn; (see Isaiah 22:16). And he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre ; for the sepulchres were made with doors to go in and out at: hence we often read of rbqh jtph , the door of the sepulchre; and this was not only the custom of the Jews, but of other nations also f1728 : the stone rolled to the door, was what the Jews call, llwg , from its being rolled to, and from the door of the sepulchre; and which, they say f1729 , was a large and broad stone, with which the mouth of the sepulchre was stopped above: and it was at the shutting up of the sepulchre with this stone, that mourning began f1730 ; and after it was shut with this sepulchral stone, it was not lawful to open it f1731 : now this was done by Joseph, to preserve the body from any injury, either from beasts, or from the Jews: and when he had so done, he departed to his own house; for the sabbath drew on, and there was no more time to do any thing more in this affair.

The Syriac version reads these last clauses in the plural number; they rolled a great stone, and they put it, etc. and they went away; intimating, that Joseph did not do this himself; the stone was too great; but by others, or with their assistance. It may be observed, that all this was done on a feast day; on one of the days of the feast of the passover, when no servile work was to be done; and yet this was agreeably to the Jewish canons, which say f1732 , they do all things needful for the dead on a feast day; they shave his head, and wash his clothes, and make him a coffin; and if they have no boards, they bring timber and saw boards of it, silently within doors; and if the person is a man of note, they do it even in the street; but they do not cut wood out of the forest, to saw planks of it for the coffin; nor do they hew stones, to build a tomb with them.

In this case, there was no need for the latter, because the sepulchre in which the body of Christ was laid, had been hewn out of a rock before; but the body was wrapped in a clean linen cloth, and wound up in it with myrrh and aloes to preserve it, and was interred; and so the women on this day, prepared spices and ointments, to anoint it with; though they rested on the sabbath day according to the commandment; but then as soon as that was over, though it was a feast day, they came to the sepulchre with their spices and ointments, ( Luke 23:56 24:1).


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 57-61 - In the burial of Christ was nothing of pomp or solemnity. As Christ ha not a house of his own, wherein to lay his head, while he lived, so he had not a grave of his own, wherein to lay his body, when he was dead Our Lord Jesus, who had no sin of his own, had no grave of his own. The Jews designed that he should have made his grave with the wicked should have been buried with the thieves with whom he was crucified but God overruled it, so that he should make it with the rich in his death, Isa 53:9. And although to the eye of man the beholding a funera may cause terror, yet if we remember how Christ by his burial ha changed the nature of the grave to believers, it should make u rejoice. And we are ever to imitate Christ's burial in being continually occupied in the spiritual burial of our sins.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

60. New
tomb (kainw). See on Matt. xxvi. 29. Not newly hewn, but fresh, undefiled by anybody.

A great stone. Though in the Jews' sepulchres in general there were doors hung on hinges, the grooves and perforations for which may still be seen. Joseph's tomb may have been differently constructed, or else was in an unfinished state.
