‏ Mark 15:46

Wound ( ενειλησεν ). This word is only here in the N.T. As εντυλισσω is only in Mt 27:59; Lu 23:53; Joh 20:7. Both verbs occur in the papyri, Plutarch, etc. They both mean to wrap, wind, roll in. The body of Jesus was wound in the linen cloth bought by Joseph and the hundred pounds of spices brought by Nicodemus (Joh 19:39) for burying were placed in the folds of the linen and the linen was bound around the body by strips of cloth (Joh 19:40). The time was short before the sabbath began and these two reverently laid the body of the Master in Joseph's new tomb, hewn out of a rock. The perfect passive participle ( λελατομημενον ) is from λατομος, a stonecutter ( λως, stone, τεμνω, to cut). For further details see on Mt 27:57-60. Lu 23:53 and Joh 19:41 also tell of the new tomb of Joseph. Some modern scholars think that this very tomb has been identified in Gordon's Calvary north of the city.

Against the door ( επ την θυραν ). Matthew has the dative τη θυρα without επ and adds the adjective "great" ( μεγαν ).
