Footnotes

  1. 125 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
  2. 126 The term σινδών (sindōn) can refer to a linen cloth used either for clothing or for burial.
  3. 127 In the Greek text this pronoun (αὐτόν, auton) is masculine, while the previous one (αὐτό, auto) is neuter, referring to the body.
  4. 128 That is, cut or carved into an outcropping of natural rock, resulting in a cave-like structure (see L&N 19.26).
  5. 129 Codex Bezae (D), with some support from 070, one Itala , and the Sahidic version, adds the words, “And after he [Jesus] was laid [in the tomb], he [Joseph of Arimathea] put a stone over the tomb which scarcely twenty men could roll.” Although this addition is certainly not part of the original text of Luke, it does show how interested the early scribes were in the details of the burial and may even reflect a very primitive tradition. Matt 27:60 and Mark 15:46 record the positioning of a large stone at the door of the tomb. Or “laid to rest.”
