SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:41
Y en aquel lugar donde había sido colgado del madero, había un huerto; y en el huerto un sepulcro nuevo, en el cual an no había sido puesto ninguno.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 19:41
Verse 41. There was a garden] It was an ancient custom for particular families to have burying places in their gardens. See 2 Kings xxi. 18, 26. New sepulchre] See on Matt. xxvii. 60.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 41. Now in the place where he was crucified , etc.] Which takes in all that spot of ground that lay on that side of the city where he was crucified; or near to the place of his crucifixion, for it was not a garden in which he was crucified: there was a garden ; all gardens, except rose gardens, were without the city, as has been observed, (see Gill on John 18:1). This, it seems, belonged to Joseph: rich men used to have their gardens without the city for their convenience and pleasure: and in the garden a new sepulchre ; they might not bury within the city.
Some chose to make their sepulchres in their gardens, to put them in mind of their mortality, when they took their walks there; so R. Dustai, R.
Janhal, and R. Nehurai, were buried, sdrpb , in a garden, or orchard f781 ; and so were Manasseh and Amon, kings of Judah, ( 2 Kings 21:18,26). Here Joseph had one, hewn out in a rock, for himself and family, and was newly made. The Jews distinguish between an old, and a new sepulchre; they say f782 , dj rbq , a new sepulchre may be measured and sold, and divided, but an old one might not be measured, nor sold, nor divided. Wherein was never man yet laid ; this is not improperly, nor impertinently added, though the evangelist had before said, that it was a new sepulchre; for that it might be, and yet bodies have been lain in it; for according to the Jewish canons f783 , there is as a new sepulchre, which is an old one; and there is an old one, which is as a new one; an old sepulchre, in which lie ten dead bodies, which are not in the power of the owners, dj rbqk hzyrh , lo, this is as a new sepulchre.
Now Christ was laid in such an one, where no man had been laid, that it might appear certainly that it was he, and not another, that was risen from the dead.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 38-42 - Joseph of Arimathea was a disciple of Christ in secret. Disciple should openly own themselves; yet some, who in lesser trials have bee fearful, in greater have been courageous. When God has work to do, he can find out such as are proper to do it. The embalming was done by Nicodemus, a secret friend to Christ, though not his constant follower That grace which at first is like a bruised reed, may afterwar resemble a strong cedar. Hereby these two rich men showed the valu they had for Christ's person and doctrine, and that it was not lessene by the reproach of the cross. We must do our duty as the present da and opportunity are, and leave it to God to fulfil his promises in his own way and his own time. The grave of Jesus was appointed with the wicked, as was the case of those who suffered as criminals; but he wa with the rich in his death, as prophesied, Isa 53:9; these tw circumstances it was very unlikely should ever be united in the sam person. He was buried in a new sepulchre; therefore it could not be said that it was not he, but some other that rose. We also are her taught not to be particular as to the place of our burial. He wa buried in the sepulchre next at hand. Here is the Sun of Righteousnes set for a while, to rise again in greater glory, and then to set n more __________________________________________________________________
