Mk 15:46e ... which was quarried out of-rock, ...

The 5th phrase has these 5 narrator words ... ho ēn lelatomēmenon ek petras (which was quarried out of-rock, ...).

The 5 narrator words are bottom up. The verb "lelatomēmenon" is a compilation of laas (a stone) and temnō (to quarry stones). The noun petra means "a Rock, a solid or native rock formation rising up through the earth, a huge mass of rock, a mountain of rock." This diagram is a quick flashback that takes us back to a time when the door opening, the inside cavity, and the ledge where the dead body could be laid to rest where excavated from the solid rock to construct the tomb.
