“Observe whether the harmony of the three Evangelists here is not fitted to make an impression: for they have thought it right to describe the tomb as one that was "quarried or hewn out of the rock." Whoever examines the words of the narrative will see something worthy of consideration, both in them and in the newness…”
Origen of Alexandria, 3th c. — AGAINST CELSUS 2.69
Original
41Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.

39And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
40Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
— John 19:41 —
42There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
