Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en to topo hopou estaurothe {ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ὅπου ἐσταυρώθη | en tôi tópō hópou estaurṓthē} “in the place where He was crucified” provides a precise spatial anchor by linking the new location directly to the crucifixion site through the relative adverb hopou {ὅπου | hópou}.
The nominative kepos {κῆπος | kê-pos} “garden” functions as the subject of en {ἦν | ēn}, while the coordinated structure kai en tō kepō mnemeion kainon {καὶ ἐν τῷ κήπῳ μνημεῖον καινόν | kaí en tôi kḗpō mnēmeîon kainón} introduces a second prepositional phrase “and in the garden,” within which mnemeion kainon “new tomb” stands as a nominative subject, creating a layered spatial arrangement: place → garden → tomb.
The relative clause en ho oudepo oudeis en tetheimenos {ἐν ᾧ οὐδέπω οὐδεὶς ἦν τεθειμένος | en hôi oudé-pō oudéis ēn tetheiménos} “in which no one had yet been laid” further specifies the tomb. The combination of the imperfect auxiliary en with the perfect passive participle tetheimenos yields a periphrastic construction that emphasizes a resultant state of the tomb’s complete unusedness up to that moment. In translation, the sequence and nesting of locations are preserved (“in the place… there was a garden… in the garden a new tomb”), and the periphrastic construction is rendered with English past perfect (“had yet been laid” / “had ever been buried”) to reflect the continuing state implied in Greek.
In context — John 19:41
Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.
