‏ Mark 15:46

46 After Joseph ^{▼▼tn Grk “he”; the referent (Joseph of Arimathea) has been specified in the translation for clarity.} bought a linen cloth ^{▼▼tn The term σινδών (sindōn) can refer to a linen cloth used either for clothing or for burial.} and took down the body, he wrapped it in the linen and placed it in a tomb cut out of the rock. ^{▼▼tn That is, cut or carved into an outcropping of natural rock, resulting in a cave-like structure (see L&N 19.25).} Then ^{▼▼tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.} he rolled a stone across the entrance ^{▼▼tn Or “to the door,” “against the door.”} of the tomb.
