John 20:7 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Wrapped together in a place by itself - The providence of God ordered these very little matters, so that they became the fullest proofs against the lie of the chief priests, that the body had been stolen away by the disciples. If the body had been stolen away, those who took it would not have stopped to strip the clothes from it, and to wrap them up, and lay them by in separate places.

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.
