The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 27:57-61

The burial of the body of Jesus. ( Mark 15:42-47 ; Luke 23:50-56 ; John 19:38-42 .) read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 27:57-61

The burial of Jesus. We may consider this in relation to all the persons concerned—Jesus himself, Joseph of Arimathaea, Pontius Pilate, and the Marys. I. JESUS SUBMITTING TO BURIAL . Jesus himself had departed. It was only the deserted house that was now left. Still this was the body of Jesus, and the burial of it had a significance in regard to the spirit that had once inhabited it. 1 . The burial proves the death of Christ. If he had risen immediately it would have been... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 27:57-66

The Lord's grave. I. THE BURIAL . 1 . Joseph of Arimathaea. He was a rich man and a counsellor. Like Nicodemus, he believed in Christ; but, like Nicodemus, he had not had the courage to avow his convictions. His rank, perhaps, and his riches had kept him back. It was hard for a man in his position to espouse the cause of the despised Prophet of Nazareth. He had, perhaps, absented himself from the council at which the Lord was condemned. He would not take part in that awful crime,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 27:57-66

The treatment of the body of Christ. The body of Christ is mystically taken to represent his Church (see 1 Corinthians 10:17 ; Ephesians 4:16 ; Colossians 1:18 ). In this figure the fact is strongly set forth, viz. that Christ takes home to himself whatever treatment his Church may receive (see Proverbs 19:1-29 :31; Matthew 25:35-46 ; Acts 9:1 , Acts 9:4 , Acts 9:5 ). This also applies to individual members. And agreeably to this analogy, what was done to the literal body of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 27:59

When Joseph had taken the body. In order to effect this, the cross would be taken up and deposited upon the ground, the nails would be drawn from hands and feet, the cord unbound (if cord there was), and the corpse laid reverently down. We must remember that this act of Joseph and his friends was not only a bold proceeding, but an act of great self-denial. Contact with a corpse caused ceremonial defilement of seven days' duration, and thus they would be debarred from taking their part in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 27:60

Laid it in his own new tomb. It was placed on one of the shelves or recesses formed in the sides of the sepulchre. Thus did the Saviour make "his grave with the wicked" (dying between two thieves), "and with the rich in his death" ( Isaiah 53:9 ). It was fitting that he whose body saw no corruption should be buried in a grave which had never been tainted by a human corpse. Thus also it was ensured that no other body could rise thence except his who alone was buried therein. This tomb, St.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 27:61

The other Mary. The mother of James and Joses (verse 56). These pious women could not tear themselves from the spot where their Lord was buried. The last to leave him dead, they were the first to see him risen. And now they watch the last ceremonies at a distance, intending to complete the imperfect embalmment with loving care as soon as ever the sabbath was over. "Seest thou women's courage?" says Chrysostom; "seest thou their affection? seest thou their noble spirit in expending money [ ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 27:61

Womanly devotion. "Last at the cross, first at the grave." it does not appear that the women dared do any more than watch our Lord's death, watch his taking down from the cross, and watch where they took his body. But that watching was devotion. They did not feel that the men could do what was really needed for the dead body, and so their devotion planned loyal and loving womanly service as soon as ever the sabbath was over, and they would be clear of our Lord's bitter enemies, and of the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 27:59

“He wrapped it in a clean linen cloth.” John adds that this was done “with spices” John 19:40. The Jews were accustomed to use myrrh, aloes, and other aromatics in large quantities when they buried their dead. When they were not regularly embalmed, which was a long and tedious process, they enclosed the spices in the folds of the linen, or wrapped the body in it. Spices were sometimes used in such quantities as to form a “heap or bed,” on which the dead body was laid. Thus it is said of Asa 2... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 27:60

In his own new tomb - John says John 19:41 that this was in a garden that was “in” or “near” the place where he was crucified. This tomb Joseph had prepared for himself, as was not uncommon among the Jews. Compare the notes at Isaiah 22:16. In this tomb Luke and John inform us that no man had been laid. This was so ordered, in the providence of God, doubtless, that there might be no suspicion about his identity when he rose; that it might not be alleged that another person had risen, or that he... read more
