The borrowed tomb

Matthew 27:59-60English Standard Version (ESV)

59 And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud 60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away.

"In a family tomb..., a body would be stretched out on the shelf until it had been completely decayed.  Then the living would return, the tomb would be reopened, the bones would be collected and stored in the little rear hallway, leaving the shelf empty for the next in line to die." -- N. D. Wilson, Death by Living

In first-century Judaism, Jesus really could have "borrowed" Joseph's new tomb.  Without the intervention of the resurrection, his body would have been left to decay, then put in a bone box and returned to his family or followers, leaving the storage area of the new tomb to be used by Joseph of Arimathea and his family.
