The napkin ( to soudarion ).

Already in Joh 11:44 which see. This napkin for the head was in a separate place.

Robertson: Joh 20:7 - -- Rolled up ( entetuligmenon ). Perfect passive participle, predicate accusative like keimenon , from entulissō , late verb, to wrap in, to roll up, ...

Rolled up ( entetuligmenon ).

Perfect passive participle, predicate accusative like keimenon , from entulissō , late verb, to wrap in, to roll up, already in Mat 27:59; Luk 23:53. It was arranged in an orderly fashion. There was no haste.

Robertson: Joh 20:7 - -- By itself ( chōris ). Old adverb, "apart,""separately."

By itself ( chōris ).

Old adverb, "apart,""separately."

Vincent: Joh 20:7 - -- Napkin ( σουδάριον ) See on Luk 19:20.

Napkin ( σουδάριον )

See on Luk 19:20.

Vincent: Joh 20:7 - -- Wrapped together ( ἐντετυλιγμένον ) Rev., much better, rolled up . The orderly arrangement of everything in the tomb marks t...

Wrapped together ( ἐντετυλιγμένον )

Rev., much better, rolled up . The orderly arrangement of everything in the tomb marks the absence of haste and precipitation in the awakening and rising from the dead.

JFB: Joh 20:3-10 - -- These particulars have a singular air of artless truth about them. Mary, in her grief, runs to the two apostles who were soon to be so closely associa...

These particulars have a singular air of artless truth about them. Mary, in her grief, runs to the two apostles who were soon to be so closely associated in proclaiming the Saviour's resurrection, and they, followed by Mary, hasten to see with their own eyes. The younger disciple outruns the older; love haply supplying swifter wings. He stoops, he gazes in, but enters not the open sepulchre, held back probably by a reverential fear. The bolder Peter, coming up, goes in at once, and is rewarded with bright evidence of what had happened.

JFB: Joh 20:6-7 - -- Lying.

Lying.

JFB: Joh 20:6-7 - -- Not loosely, as if hastily thrown down, and indicative of a hurried and disorderly removal.

Not loosely, as if hastily thrown down, and indicative of a hurried and disorderly removal.

JFB: Joh 20:6-7 - -- Folded.

Folded.

JFB: Joh 20:6-7 - -- Showing with what grand tranquillity "the Living One" had walked forth from "the dead" (Luk 24:5). "Doubtless the two attendant angels (Joh 20:12) did...

Showing with what grand tranquillity "the Living One" had walked forth from "the dead" (Luk 24:5). "Doubtless the two attendant angels (Joh 20:12) did this service for the Rising One, the one disposing of the linen clothes, the other of the napkin" [BENGEL].

Clarke: Joh 20:7 - -- 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 ...

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.

Calvin: Joh 20:7 - -- 7.And the napkin which was about his head When the Evangelist says, that a napkin was wrapped about his head, this refutes the falsehood of the P...

7.And the napkin which was about his head When the Evangelist says, that a napkin was wrapped about his head, this refutes the falsehood of the Papists, who pretend that the whole body was sewed up in one linen garment, which they hold out to the wretched populace, calling it “the holy winding-sheet.” 194 I say nothing about their gross ignorance of the Latin language, which led them to suppose that the word napkin denoting what was used for wiping the sweat from the face, such as a handkerchief 195 signified a covering for the whole body; nor do I say any thing about their impudence in boasting that they have this very napkin in five or six different places. But this gross falsehood is intolerable, because it openly contradicts the evangelical history. To this is added a fabulous miracle, which they have contrived, to this effect, that the likeness of Christ’s body continued to be visible in the linen cloth. I appeal to you, if such a miracle had been wrought, would nothing have been said about it by the Evangelist, who is so careful to relate events which were not of so great importance? Let us be satisfied with this simple view of the matter, that Christ, by laying aside the tokens of death, intended to testify that he had clothed himself with a blessed and immortal life.

Defender: Joh 20:7 - -- This word is used elsewhere only in Mat 27:59 and Luk 23:53, all in connection only with the "in-wrapping" of Jesus body in the graveclothes. The scen...

This word is used elsewhere only in Mat 27:59 and Luk 23:53, all in connection only with the "in-wrapping" of Jesus body in the graveclothes. The scene was of the graveclothes (and the napkin by itself) still wrapped together just as they had been, but collapsed inward. The resurrected body of Jesus had simply passed through the wrappings - as He later did through the doors (Joh 20:19, Joh 20:26) - leaving them still intact on the shelf where the body had been placed."

For an account of the resurrection of Christ, see the notes at Matt. 28.

Joh 20:9

The scripture - See Luk 24:26, Luk 24:46. The sense or meaning of the various predictions that foretold his death, as, for example, Psa 2:7, compare Act 13:33; Psa 16:9-10, compare Act 2:25-32; Psa 110:1, compare Act 2:34-35.

For an account of the resurrection of Christ, see the notes at Matt. 28.

Ver. 6,7. But Peter, who all along the Gospel appears to have been the boldest spirit, goeth into the cave, and seeth all the linen clothes lying there, and the napkin that was about his head lying by itself.

And the napkin that was about his head,.... The word σουδαριον, rendered "napkin", is thought to be originally Latin, and signifies an handkerchief, with which the sweat is wiped off the face, and so it is used in Act 19:12 but Nonnus says it is a common word with the Syrians, and the word סודרא is used in the Syriac version; and which he renders, κεφαλης ζωστηρα, "the girdle, or binding of the head", for with this the head and face of the dead person were bound; see Joh 11:44. Now Peter, by going into the sepulchre, and looking about him, and examining things more strictly and narrowly, observed that which neither he nor John had taken notice of, when only stooping they looked in: and that is, that this head binder, or napkin, was

not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself: and was plainly the effect of thought, care, and composure; and clearly showed, that the body was not taken away in a hurry, or by thieves, since everything lay in such order and decency; and which was done, either by our Lord himself, or by the angels.
