Luke 23:53
Took it down ( καθελων ). Second aorist active participle of καθαιρεω as in Mr 15:46.Wrapped ( ενετυλιξεν ), as in Mt 27:59 where Mr 15:46 has ενειλησεν (wound), which see. Joh 19:40 has "bound" ( εδησαν ). See Matt. and Mark also for the linen cloth ( σινδον ).
Hewn in stone ( λαξευτω ). From λαξευω ( λας, a stone, ξεω, to polish). In the LXX and here only in the N.T. Nowhere else so far as known. See the usual Greek verb λατομεω in Mr 15:46; Mt 27:60.
Where never man had yet lain ( ου ουκ εν ουδεις ουπω κειμενος ). Triple negative and periphrastic past perfect passive in sense ( κειμα ), though periphrastic imperfect passive in form. Same item in Joh 19:40 who uses ην τεθειμενος (periphrastic past perfect passive in form).
