And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes - loosely, as if hastily thrown down, and indicative of a hurried and disorderly removal,
But wrapped ('or folded') together in a place by itself - showing with what grand tranquility "the Living One" had walked forth from "the dead." (See the note at Luke 24:5.) 'Doubtless,' says Bengel, 'the two attendant angels (John 20:12) did this service for the Rising One; the one disposing of the linen clothes, the other of the napkin.' But perhaps they were the acts of the Risen One Himself, calmly laying aside, as of no further use, the garments of His mortality, and indicating the absence of all haste in issuing from the tomb.
