Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Acts 13:29

“And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre.”

“they took him down . . . and laid him in a sepulchre--Though the burial of Christ was an act of honor and love to Him by the disciples to whom the body was committed, yet since His enemies looked after it and obtained a guard of soldiers to keep watch over it as the remains of their own victim, the apostle regards this as the last manifestation on their part of enmity to the Saviour, that they might see how God laughed all their precautions to scorn by "raising Him from the dead."”
