Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 23:53

And he took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was hewn in stone, where never man had yet lain.Rather extensive studies were completed and presented in the Gospel of John (see my Commentary on John) regarding "The Two Graves of Jesus," a description of the tomb in which Jesus was buried (that of Joseph of Arimathea), and "Concerning the Cloths" in which the body was wrapped. See in my Commentary on John, under John 19:40 and John 19:41. Also, regarding the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 23:50-56

G. The burial of Jesus 23:50-56 (cf. Matthew 27:57-66; Mark 15:42-47; John 19:31-42)This pericope is primarily transitional bridging the stories of Jesus’ death and resurrection. It confirms the reality of Jesus’ death. However, Luke included more information about Joseph of Arimathea (possibly Ramah, Ramathaim) than the other evangelists revealing his desire to inform his readers that not all the Jewish leaders opposed Jesus. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 23:53-54

Joseph’s careful and respectful treatment of Jesus’ body reflected how he felt about Him (cf. Isaiah 53:9). Luke dated his action as late Friday afternoon. The preparation (Gr. paraskeue) day was the day before the Sabbath, which began at sundown on Friday. Luke’s explanation is helpful for non-Jewish readers. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 23:1-56

Trial Before Pilate and Herod. The Crucifixion and Burial1-5. The trial before Pilate begins (Matthew 27:1-2, Matthew 27:11-14; Mark 15:1-5; John 18:28-38). See on Mt and Jn.6-12. Trial before Herod (peculiar to Lk). ’By sending Jesus to Herod the clever Roman gained two ends at once. First, he got rid of the business which was imposed on him, and then he took the first step towards a reconciliation with Herod (Luke 23:12). The cause of their quarrel had probably been some conflict of... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 23:50-56

(50-56) Behold, there was a man named Joseph.—See Notes on Matthew 27:57-61; Mark 15:42-47. St. Luke agrees with St. Mark in calling him a “counsellor,” but the epithets, “good man and just,” are peculiar to him. The adjective for good is not often applied to persons in the New Testament. In Acts 11:24 it is used of Barnabas; in Romans 5:7 it represents a higher excellence than that of the man who is simply just. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 23:53

(53) A sepulchre that was hewn in stone.—The descriptive word differs from that used by St. Matthew and St. Mark, as being slightly more technical, and implying a higher degree of finish. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 23:1-56

With Me in Paradise Luke 23:3 We have heard the first word of peace: the priestly intercession for the transgressors. Now we listen to the comfortable word that the Son of man addresses to one who truly turns to Him. There is a natural sequence: first the sinner, then the penitent The prayer of Christ is no sooner uttered than it begins to be answered. The firstfruits of the cross is the malefactor who hangs by Jesus' side. And the robber receives a message of peace. Christ's gift to him is... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Luke 23:1-56

1Chapter 25THE PASSION.Luke 22:47-71 - Luke 23:1-56WHILE Jesus kept His sad watch in Gethsemane, treading the winepress alone, His enemies kept theirs in the city. The step of Judas, as he passed out into the night, went verberating within the house of the high priest, and onwards into the palace of Pilate himself, awaking a thousand echoes, as swift messengers flew hither and thither, bearing the hurried summons, calling the rulers and elders from their repose, and marshalling the Roman... read more
