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.
