Luke 23:53

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And he took it down,.... From the cross, with the help of others, having obtained leave of Pilate so to do;and wrapped it in linen; as was the custom of the Jews in burying their dead; See Gill on "Mt 27:59".

and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone; cut out of a rock; See Gill on "Mt 27:60".wherein never man before was laid; so that it could not be said it was another body, and not that of Christ's, that was raised from the dead.
