‏ Luke 23:53

 Took it down ( καθελων ). Second aorist active participle of  καθαιρεω as in Mr 15:46.

 Wrapped ( ενετυλιξεν ), as in Mt 27:59 where Mr 15:46 has  ενειλησεν (wound), which see. Joh 19:40 has "bound" ( εδησαν ). See Matt. and Mark also for the linen cloth ( σινδον ).

 Hewn in stone ( λαξευτω ). From  λαξευω ( λας, a stone,  ξεω, to polish). In the LXX and here only in the N.T. Nowhere else so far as known. See the usual Greek verb  λατομεω in Mr 15:46; Mt 27:60.

 Where never man had yet lain ( ου ουκ εν ουδεις ουπω κειμενος ). Triple negative and periphrastic past perfect passive in sense ( κειμα ), though periphrastic imperfect passive in form. Same item in Joh 19:40 who uses  ην τεθειμενος (periphrastic past perfect passive in form).
