And he bought fine linen, etc..] That is, Joseph, as is expressed in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Persic versions; which, when he had done, as is highly probable, in the city of Jerusalem, he went to Mount Calvary, and took him down; took the body of Christ down from the cross; though, no doubt, with the assistance of others, or by others, and not he himself, at least not alone: and wrapped him in the linen; wound him up in it, as was the manner of the Jews; (see Gill on “<402759>Matthew 27:59”); and laid him in a sepulchre, which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre; (see Gill on “<402760>Matthew 27:60”).
