Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulcher, in which was never man yet laid.
All Commentaries on John 19:41 Go To John 19
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
And if any one choose to give an additional meaning to the saying that the sepulchre was a new one, and that no man had been lain therein, be it so. He says, then, we may suppose, that the sepulchre was new, and that no one had been ever laid therein, that no one might be thought to have arisen from the sleep of death save Jesus only.
