"Then took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.(John 19:40) Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. [In the place where he was crucified - There was a garden in the same tract of land: but the cross did not stand in the garden.] (John 19:41)There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand. (John 19:41) [Because of the preparation - That is, they chose the rather to lay him in that sepulchre which was nigh, because it was the day before the Sabbath, which also was drawing to an end, so that they had no time to carry him far."
