Markus 15:46

15:46 After Joseph ¹  bought a linen cloth ²  and took down the body, he wrapped it in the linen and placed it in a tomb cut out of the rock. ³  Then ⁴  he rolled a stone across the entrance ⁵  of the tomb.

Markus 16:3-4

16:3 They had been asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” 16:4 But ⁶  when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled back.

[15:46]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Joseph of Arimathea) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[15:46]  ² tn The term σινδών (sindwn) can refer to a linen cloth used either for clothing or for burial.

[15:46]  ³ tn That is, cut or carved into an outcropping of natural rock, resulting in a cave-like structure (see L&N 19.25).

[15:46]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[15:46]  ⁵ tn Or “to the door,” “against the door.”

[16:4]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
