The "souderon" (best: "face cloth" here) would have been placed over Jesus' face before the other linen cloths would have been wrapped over the outside. Note that here we have support for the above conclusion. Not lying with the linen cloths, but having been folded up in a place If Jesus had arisen and and unwrapped Himself, then the fact that Peter observed that the head cloth was folded and lying separately from the other linen suggests this latter is the more likely scenario.Īnd the soudarion that was upon His head,.If Jesus' body and vanished out of the grave clothes, then the head cloth would have been with the rest of the linen cloths.One of the purposes of wrapping the dead body as part of the embalming process (which was not complete with Jesus) was to cover it entirely. In John 20:7 it is used of the head/face cloth that was folded separately from the rest of the linen cloth.In Matt 27:59 and Luke 23:53 ἐντυλίσσω is used of the wrapping of Jesus' Body on Friday afternoon before burial.This verb only occurs three times in the NT and always describes what was done with Jesus' linen grave shrouds as follows: To be clear, whether Jesus arose and the the grave clothes "collapsed" as the body vanished out of them, or, He was brought back to life and got up and unwrapped Himself and folded the grave clothes in two neat piles would still allow the both sets of linen cloths to be "lying" in their place. The answer to this question about John 20:7 depends on what we make of the verb ἐντυλίσσω = to wrap or fold up. Thus the details of the garments are not of hypothetical interest but of real significance. I see, myself, the matter of Headship - the Head and the Body - and the significance of resurrection to a new humanity, under Headship. ![]() ![]() There is deliberate mention of the napkin being separate and John makes a point of recording it. Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Is there anything in the Greek (I am using the KJV and the TR) to suggest what the article is implying ? I have always read John's account understanding that the linen cloth for the head was 'wrapped together' in a place by itself, meaning folded neatly and at some distance from the shroud.īut on reading again I notice that the linen clothes were 'lying'. The Shroud of Turin shows the back and front of a bearded man with long hair, his arms crossed on his chest, while the entire cloth is marked by what appears to be rivulets of blood from wounds in the wrists, feet and side.Today, I read an article that presumed the body of Jesus had instantly removed from the tomb leaving the garments as they had been worn, as if 'collapsing' as the body disappeared from their containment. “We have shown that is possible to reproduce something which has the same characteristics as the Shroud,” Luigi Garlaschelli, who is due to illustrate the results at a conference on the para-normal this weekend in northern Italy, said on Monday.Ī professor of organic chemistry at the University of Pavia, Garlaschelli made available to Reuters the paper he will deliver and the accompanying comparative photographs. The shroud, measuring 14 feet, 4 inches by 3 feet, 7 inches bears the image, eerily reversed like a photographic negative, of a crucified man some believers say is Christ.
