napkin. See John 11:44.

about. upon. Greek. epi. App-104.

with. Greek. meta. App-104.

wrapped together. rolled, or coiled round and round. Greek. entuliseo. Used elsewhere, only in Matthew 27:59; Luke 23:53, of the linen cloth. Here it implies that the cloth had been folded round the head as. turban is folded, and that it lay still in the form of. turban. The linen clothes also lay exactly as they were when swathed round the body. The Lord had passed out of them, not needing, as Lazarus (John 11:44), to be loosed. It was this sight that convinced John (John 20:8).

in. into. Greek. eis. App-104.

a place by itself. one place apart.

John 20:7

7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
