This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
A garden (kēpos). See Joh 18:1, Joh 18:26.
New (kainon). Fresh, unused.
Was never yet laid (oudepō ēn tetheimenos). Periphrastic past perfect passive of tithēmi. It was Joseph’s mausoleum, a rock tomb hewn out of the mountain side (Mar 15:46; Mat 27:60; Luk 23:53), a custom common with the rich then and now. For royal tombs in gardens see 2Ki 21:18, 2Ki 21:26; Neh 3:16.
