Exegesis
The relative clause ho ēn lelatomēmenon ek petras {ὃ ἦν λελατομημένον ἐκ πέτρας | ho ēn lelatomēménon ek pétras} uses a periphrastic construction (imperfect of “to be” plus perfect passive participle) to describe the tomb as a pre-existing, rock-hewn structure, emphasizing its permanence and intentional preparation.
In context — Mark 15:46
And after buying a linen cloth , he took Him down, wrapped Him in the linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb that had been hewn out of rock; and he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.
