And of course, the prophecy that he'd be buried in a rich man's tomb. (Is 53)

Lazarus' tomb also had a stone. It was a practical thing given the cave-like nature of tombs.

Jesus' stone, of course, was sealed by Pilate against entry by official proclamation.

Provided that's what really happened, right? Again, all we have is a Bible story written decades later, in retrospect.
