Contextual Overview

1 But on the first of the sabbaths, Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb, darkness yet being on it . And she saw the stone had been removed from the tomb. 2 Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they laid Him. 3 Then Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb. 4 And the two ran together, and the other disciple ran in front more quickly than Peter and came first to the tomb. 5 And stooping down, he saw the linens lying; however, he did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came following him, and went into the tomb and saw the linens lying. 7 And the grave cloth which was on His head was not lying with the linens, but was wrapped up in one place by itself. 8 Therefore, then the other disciple also entered, he having come first to the tomb, even he saw and believed. 9 For they did not yet know the Scripture, that it was necessary for Him to rise from the dead. 10 Then the disciples went away again to themselves.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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 Acts 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 John 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For an account of the resurrection of Christ, see the notes at Matthew 28:0.

John 20:9

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

For an account of the resurrection of Christ, see the notes at Matthew 28:0.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse John 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 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.
