Matthew Poole and continuators on John 11:38

38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself , cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it .

As before, ver. 33. So shewing himself yet further to be truly man, and not without human Affections; he cometh to the place where Lazarus his Dead Body was laid, which the Evangelist telleth us was a Cave, or a hollow place in the Earth, or some Rock.

And they were wont to roll some great Stones to the mouth of those graves, (as we see in the burial of our Saviour, Matth. 27.66.)
