Exegesis
Two aorist participles, agorasas {ἀγοράσας | agorásas} “having bought” and kathelōn {καθελὼν | kathelṓn} “having taken down,” precede the main verb and function temporally, indicating actions completed prior to the main event, here the aorist indicative eneilēsen {ἐνείλησεν | eneílēsen} “he wrapped.”
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.
