Mark 16:3-4

16:3 They had been asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” 16:4 But ¹  when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled back.

Matthew 27:60

27:60 and placed it ²  in his own new tomb that he had cut in the rock. ³  Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance ⁴  of the tomb and went away.

Matthew 28:2

28:2 Suddenly there was a severe earthquake, for an angel of the Lord ⁵  descending from heaven came and rolled away the stone and sat on it.

John 11:38

Lazarus Raised from the Dead

11:38 Jesus, intensely moved ⁶  again, came to the tomb. (Now it was a cave, and a stone was placed across it.) ⁷ 

[16:4]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[27:60]  ¹ tc ‡ αὐτό (auto, “it”) is found after ἔθηκεν (eqhken, “placed”) in the majority of witnesses, including many important ones, though it seems to be motivated by a need for clarification and cannot therefore easily explain the rise of the shorter reading (which is read by א L Θ Ë¹³ 33 892 pc). Regardless of which reading is original (though with a slight preference for the shorter reading), English style requires the pronoun. NA²⁷ includes αὐτό here, no doubt due to the overwhelming external attestation.

[27:60]  ² tn That is, cut or carved into an outcropping of natural rock, resulting in a cave-like structure (see L&N 19.25).

[27:60]  ³ tn Or “to the door,” “against the door.”

[28:2]  ¹ tn Or “the angel of the Lord.” See the note on the word “Lord” in 1:20.

[11:38]  ¹ tn Or (perhaps) “Jesus was deeply indignant.”

[11:38]  ² sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.
