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.
