The Tomb of Jesus Wasn’t Reused

Question:

Did Joseph of Arimathea use the tomb that Jesus borrowed?

Answer:

There is no evidence of that. Rather, the tomb of Jesus has long been venerated. It was rediscovered in the early fourth century, and is now part of one of the most-visited Christian shrines in the world, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. In its being rediscovered, there was no evidence of bodily remains, which one would expect if the tomb had been used after Jesus.
