Now there was a garden
The mention of a "garden" is significant, as it evokes imagery of the Garden of Eden, where humanity's fall began. The Greek word for garden, "kēpos," suggests a cultivated area, a place of life and growth. This setting contrasts with the death of crucifixion, symbolizing hope and new beginnings. Theologically, it points to the restoration and redemption that Jesus' death and resurrection bring, transforming a place of death into a symbol of life.

in the place where Jesus was crucified
The proximity of the garden to the crucifixion site underscores the immediacy of Jesus' sacrifice and its redemptive power. Historically, crucifixions were carried out outside city walls, in places of shame and public humiliation. Yet, this location becomes sacred, as it is where the ultimate act of love and redemption occurred. Theologically, it signifies that even the most desolate places can be transformed by Christ's presence.

and in the garden a new tomb
The "new tomb" signifies purity and the fulfillment of prophecy. In Jewish tradition, a new tomb, one that had not been used, was considered clean and appropriate for a dignified burial. The Greek word "kainos" implies something fresh and unused, highlighting the honor given to Jesus even in death. This newness also symbolizes the new covenant and the new life believers receive through Christ's resurrection.

in which no one had yet been laid
This detail emphasizes the uniqueness of Jesus' burial. The tomb, untouched by death, becomes the stage for the resurrection, underscoring the miracle of Jesus rising from the dead. It fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah 53:9, which speaks of the Messiah being with a rich man in His death, as Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy man, provided the tomb. Theologically, it highlights the sanctity and divine purpose of Jesus' burial and resurrection, setting the stage for the victory over death.

(41) Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden.--Comp. John 18:1. St. John's account makes the choice of the sepulchre depend on its nearness to the place of crucifixion; the account in the earlier Gospels makes it depend on the fact that the sepulchre belonged to Joseph. The one account implies the other; and the burial, under the circumstances, required both that the sepulchre should be at hand, and that its owner should be willing that the body should be placed in it.

A new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.--An emphatic combination of the two statements made in Matthew 27:60 and Luke 23:53.

Verse 41. - Now there was in the place where he was crucified, close at hand to the very cross, a garden, and in the garden a new sepulcher, wherein as yet no man was laid (on site, see ver. 17, notes). John alone tells us of the "garden;" and he clearly saw the significance of the resemblance to the "garden" where Christ agonized unto death, and was betrayed with a kiss, and also to the garden where the first Adam fell from the high estate of posse non peccare. We are not told, however, by him that this sepulcher was Joseph's own (Matthew gives this explanation), nor that it was cut out of a rock, nor the nature or quality of it. Matthew, Luke, and John remark that it was καίνον, not simply νέον, recently made, but new in the sense of being as yet unused, thus preventing the possibility of any confusion, or any subordinate miracle, such as happened at the grave of Elisha (2 Kings 13:21), and so our Lord's sacred body came into no contact with corruption. Thus from the hour of death, in which the love of God in Christ is seen at its most dazzling moral luster, and the glorification of Christ in his Passion reaches its climax, death itself beaus to put on new unexpected forms and charms:

(1) the symbolic effusion of water and blood;

(2) the costly unguent spices and honorable burial lavished on One who had been put under ban, and had died the doom of the slave;

(3) the garden and the watchers.
