Mark 15:46

And he bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

Sanner noted five aspects of Joseph's ministry to the Lord thus:

He purchased fine linen (Mark 15:46), removed the body from the cross and wrapped it in the linen shroud (see John 19:40), laid him in his own new rock-hewn sepulchre (which was in a garden on a nearby hillside), and rolled a heavy stone against the door of the tomb as a protection against marauders.[28]

Note, however, the difference in what Mark here said and the significant variation from it in Sanner's comment. It is perfectly natural to suppose that Mark actually meant that they "wrapped" Jesus in a "shroud." Countless faithful students of God's word have made the same erroneous deduction. Nevertheless, it was a far different thing that took place. From Luke and John, it is clear that the linen cloth was first cut into small medical-type bandages, and that these were "wound" around Jesus' body, a far different thing from wrapping. Mark is exactly correct in the use of the word "wound." See the article in my Commentary on John, the parallel section concerning the grave-clothes of Jesus.

He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb ... It is exactly here that Satan would have delighted to close the sacred Gospel. With the Christ dead and buried, Satan would no longer have suffered any restraint in the execution of his ancient purpose to destroy the Adamic creation. God, however, was not at all hindered by stones deployed by the hands of men. For discussion of Thomas Jefferson's New Testament and his ending of the Gospel at this verse, see my Commentary on Matthew, Matthew 27:59-60. In addition to the stone that Joseph quite properly placed against the door of the sepulchre, the governor, acting on suggestions from the priests, provided an armed guard at the tomb and sealed it with the official seal of the Roman government. Very neat; but the Son of God rose anyway! No grave could contain the Prince of Life!
