Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

And he bought fine linen,.... That is, Joseph, as is expressed in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Persic versions; which, when he had done, as is highly probable, in the city of Jerusalem, he went to Mount Calvary,
and took him down; took the body of Christ down from the cross; though, no doubt, with the assistance of others, or by others, and not he himself, at least not alone:
and wrapped him in the linen; wound him up in it, as was the manner of the Jews; See Gill on Matthew 27:59;
and laid him in a sepulchre, which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre; See Gill on Matthew 27:60.

He rolled a stone - By his servants. It was too large for him to roll himself.
