The Tomb of Jesus Question: The tomb where Jesus was buried... Where is it?  What does it look like? Is there a picture of the tomb?  Can you visit the burial site of Jesus? Answer: It would be really nice if I could tell you that the photo below is of the tomb that Jesus once was laid in.  Though this tomb, well outside of Jerusalem, serves as a  great example of a first century burial place, that's all it is... a great example.

Note the track for the stone to roll in. Some of these  tombs had even larger stones and a steeper incline...  making it easy to close the tomb and very difficult to open.  The steel band, of course, was not part of the original  and now prevents the stone from being moved. Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean  linen cloth, and placed it in his own new  tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled  a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb  and went away. (Matthew 27:59-60)
