Theologically, the garden setting evokes the Garden of Eden, where sin entered the world, and now, in this garden, redemption is being accomplished. Geographically, this garden was near Golgotha, the site of the crucifixion, which was outside the city walls of Jerusalem. The proximity of the garden to the crucifixion site suggests that it was a private garden, possibly owned by a wealthy individual, as gardens were not common in urban areas.and in the garden a new tomb The new tomb signifies that it was unused, which fulfills the Jewish customs of purity and the prophecy that the Messiah would be buried with the rich (<a href="/isaiah/53-9.htm">Isaiah 53:9</a>). The newness of the tomb also symbolizes the new covenant and the new creation that Jesus' resurrection would inaugurate. Archaeologically, tombs in this period were often hewn out of rock and sealed with a large stone, indicating that this was a tomb of some importance and expense.in which no one had yet been laid This detail emphasizes the purity and sanctity of the tomb, as it was not defiled by previous bodies, aligning with Jewish burial customs. It also underscores the fulfillment of prophecy and typology, as Jesus, the sinless Lamb of God, was laid in a tomb that had not been used, symbolizing His unique role in salvation history. Theologically, this points to Jesus as the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep (<a href="/1_corinthians/15-20.htm">1 Corinthians 15:20</a>), as He is the first to rise from the dead, paving the way for the resurrection of believers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a> Central figure of the crucifixion and resurrection account.

St. John's account makes the choice of the sepulchre depend on its nearness to the place of crucifixion; the account in the earlier Gospels makes it depend on the fact that the sepulchre belonged to Joseph. The one account implies the other; and the burial, under the circumstances, required both that the sepulchre should be at hand, and that its owner should be willing that the body should be placed in it.A new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.--An emphatic combination of the two statements made in <a href="/matthew/27-60.htm" title="And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher, and departed.">Matthew 27:60</a> and <a href="/luke/23-53.htm" title="And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.">Luke 23:53</a>.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/john/19.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 41. - Now there was in the place where he was crucified, close at hand to the very cross, a garden, and in the garden a new sepulcher, wherein as yet no man was laid (on site, see ver. 17, notes). John alone tells us of the "garden;" and he clearly saw the significance of the resemblance to the "garden" where Christ agonized unto death, and was betrayed with a kiss, and also to the garden where the first Adam fell from the high estate of posse non peccare. We are not told, however, by him that this sepulcher was Joseph's own (Matthew gives this explanation), nor that it was cut out of a rock, nor the nature or quality of it. Matthew, Luke, and John remark that it was καίνον, not simply νέον, recently made, but new in the sense of being as yet unused, thus preventing the possibility of any confusion, or any subordinate miracle, such as happened at the grave of Elisha (<a href="/2_kings/13-21.htm">2 Kings 13:21</a>), and so our Lord's sacred body came into no contact with corruption. Thus from the hour of death, in which the love of God in Christ is seen at its most dazzling moral luster, and the glorification of Christ in his Passion reaches its climax, death itself beaus to put on new unexpected forms and charms: (1) the symbolic effusion of water and blood; (2) the costly unguent spices and honorable burial lavished on One who had been put under ban, and had died the doom of the slave; (3) the garden and the watchers. <a href="/commentaries/john/19-41.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Now δὲ (de) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> A primary particle; but, and, etc. there was Ἦν (Ēn) Verb - Imperfect Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_1510.htm">Strong's 1510: </a> I am, exist.
