Here you see one of the largest cisterns that we saw in Israel, a sure sign that the tomb was in a rich man's garden. |

Here's the outside of the garden tomb. Part of the wall had fallen away, so the front has been reconstructed. |
Inside the tomb is a weeping chamber and three tombs (two unused). Very extravagent, even for rich man's sepulchre. "Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid." - John 19:41 |
