SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:59
Y tomando Jos el cuerpo, lo envolvi en una sbana limpia,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:59
Verse 59. Wrapped it in a clean linen cloth] The Jews, as well as the Egyptians, added spices to keep the body from putrefaction, and the linen was wrapped about every part to keep the aromatics in contact with the flesh. From John xix. 39, 40, we learn that a mixture of myrrh and aloes of one hundred pounds' weight had been applied to the body of Jesus when he was buried. And that a second embalmment was intended, we learn from Luke xxiii. 56; xxiv. 1, as the hurry to get the body interred before the Sabbath did not permit them to complete, the embalming in the first instance. See an account of the mode of embalming among the Egyptians, in the note on Gen. l. 2, 26.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 59. And when Joseph had taken the body , etc.] Down from the cross, with the assistance of others, or from the hands of those who had orders to deliver it to him: he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth : that is, he wound up the body in it round and round, as was the custom of the Jews; (see Acts 5:6) ( John 11:44). Nor was it usual to bury in any thing but linen: so it is said f1724 , let the wrappings, or grave clothes, be ynbl tp l , of white linen; and let not the price of them be dear, for it is forbidden to bury in wrappings of silk, or broidered garments, even to a prince of Israel: for this is pride and destruction, and the work of the Gentiles. This clean linen cloth, in which the dead body of Christ was wrapped, may be an emblem of his purity and innocence, who did no sin; nor did he die for any of his own, but for the sins of others; and also of his pure and spotless righteousness, which is compared to fine linen, clean and white, and which he now had wrought out, and brought in; (see Revelation 19:8).
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.
